Have you ever tried to describe pain?
universal truths hold
dark secrets,
regrets,
and dried tears
Have you ever tried to describe pain?
there are no words and yet
so many
hear my scream down the hall-
sorry to wake you
have you ever been
woken up by something that
drove your mind blank with a
dagger straight through the middle?
that raised your chest to the skies
because of shoulders that wouldn't stay down?
maybe it was night, so late
people have left by then-
no one left to hold your hand because
people need sleep, you know
but dreams are crowded
with worst case scenarios
and monsters without faces
bring uncertainty that makes your
stomach drop or worse
the face of the monster is too recognizable
because it's you
irrational at this point
i'd do anything
i'm begging to a god I don't believe in
because there are no words and yet so many
left for me to say
what is pain?
you feel like you're dying
and when it's really bad,
you might just be close
it is living death
