What is pain,
This hole in my heart
Filled with suffocating silence,
Pushing down on my soul,
Like the force of a thousand voices,
That fill my head each night.What is pain,
It's quite a fictional thing,
For it only exists in my mind,
It's very loud there.
Urging me to end it all,
With my weapon of choice.What is pain,
Though I know it so well,
I want it to stop,
I want it to end.
Purge the demons from my head,
So it can finally be quiet there.What is pain,
If I could run from it I would,
For the sad truth of reality is, that you can never escape,
The monsters will always be around the corner,
Waiting there, ready to steal you away,
And extinguish the light.What is pain,
Such strong feelings that weigh on my chest,
And I could fight,
But I choose not too.
For I had given up long ago of my own choice,
But am I ready to face the consequences?Shamiah James Blugh
