Pain
Floundering in a depth of anxiety and drowning in the depression of it all, of course you only have to 'calm down and stop overreacting' while your mind suffocates you
Loving the sick only to have them gone in an instant as you call out their name desperately
Having those who are supposed to nurture you torture you with words and a belt while you choke on the smell of bourbon and smoke
The ache of rejection from the one you stalked for six weeks in the hope of them turning around and smiling at you when they turn look and run
The stabbing pain of whispers thrown at your back as if it had a giant red target on it while you think about how you shouldn't have had that 'one more drink'
Love and be loved what a load of bull
The world is harsh
You get over it
Standing up though you feel like a cripple
Swimming when you feel like your drowning
Loving though the ache from the previous loves that never fades
Walking with your back straight though it feels like your bleeding out
Guess what?
People have it worse
People starve in africa
People get their lives cut short by disease, murder, fate not being on their side.
Their families and friends become doctors, cops, maybe even priests or if their a little off the deep end fortune tellers.
Pain hurts
It's what it means
We all go through it
Some more than others
We all suffer
In our own ways
We all deal with it
In our own ways
Pain is being human
And that's what we are
We endure as it's in our nature.
So get over it
Move on
Learn from it
Love it
Become a masochist if it helps
Just don't you dare complain you have it the worst
'Cause you don't.
