Pain

There’s always the saying-

No Pain

No Gain.

I felt pain…

What did it lead me to?

More pain.

Maybe even an illusion

Or a correct conclusion.

Whenever I’m crying

It’s because people think I’m lying.

Then I feel bad,

Because the other person got sad…

And started to cry too.

This is how the cycle goes

Even though nobody knows.

How tears trail down one’s nose.

The cycle of pain

The cycle of rain

Both have the same pattern.

Drip Drop Drip Drop

Then one day it all goes

Plop!

Pain starts out mild

Then becomes awfully wild.

More than one person gets hurt.

Rain starts out drizzling

Then becomes more sizzling

And nobody’s out in the rain anymore.

This poem isn’t suppose to make anyone cry,

Only the people who lie.

Am I in there?

Or was someone else in there?

It’s better not to lie,

So nobody dies.

Just tell the truth

So nobody else feels pain.

Maybe then…

The world will be happier

And…

Stop the pain.
