Struggle and Pain.
Do you know what struggle is?
Do you know what pain is?
Struggle is fighting the monster within you, just befriend it,
Pain is a wound, just mend it,
Struggle is not easy, it's an art,
Pain is brutal, it tears you apart,
Struggle is the constant battle of thoughts, relentless,
Pain is trying to end the battle, fruitless,
Struggle is holding the tears in, demands courage,
Pain is letting the tears run, unlocking the cage,
Struggle is ignoring the expectations,
Pain is trying to live up to them, sans explanations,
Struggle is trying to sleep with an awake mind,
Pain is lack of sleep, one of a kind,
Do you know what struggle is?
Do you know what pain is?

Whoosh!
It's good to be back! Been a while since I wrote. Reason behind the absence is honestly something I don't know.
I've been preoccupied lately, what with the demanding people around me and all. But it's all worth it and I love all of them :)
Another thing, I'd lost all motivation to write. This really unannounced event happened in December and because of that, I'd just lost motivation and then there were new people so there was that.
(P.S. it's 3:20 am.)
Anyways, here it is.
Adios!!
:)

PoetryHi. I'm a feminist who writes poetry because I'm in love with English literature. I've also had a romantic history which is confusing, (and almost funny) yet emotionally turbulent. And so this fact makes for a bunch of good things to write on.
