Pain

When I was younger,
I often was in pain.
My mother would give me some pills,
I'd refuse and fuss around.
I was younger then,
I didn't know the power it had, towards the pain.

When I was 6,
I often had toothaches.
I was obviously a sweet addict back then,
My mother would warn me and advice that,
I'll end up with tooth cavity.
I took no notice so, I ended up with toothaches and cavity.

When I was 13,
I often, ended up getting muscle pains.  My mother told me that, they were just growing pains.
And she would give me some painkillers to ease the pain.

And now, I'm almost 15,
I don't know what the world has, done to itself.
I'm living in a world with,
stupid sickness, cruelty, dishonesty, injustice and rudeness.
Is giving me pain that no pills, advice or painkillers can ease.
