Pain

There's this pain

Deep inside me.

An uncontrollable

Indescribable

Unforgivable

Pain.

It's always been with me

And will stay with me

Until the end.

I've tried to stop it,

But the more I try

The worse it gets.

The only way

To manage the pain inside

Is to cause pain on the outside.

Because of this

I will forever have scars.

They say it's dumb,

They say it's stupid.

What other way

Can I manage this pain?

People say

They understand my pain

They understand my past.

They don't understand anything.

They don't know what it's like

Being abandoned

And abused

By the people you trust most.

They don't know what it's like

To fear everything

And everyone around them.

This pain

Has taken my life.

This pain

Has taken my soul.
