Pain

I remember writing this poem when I was 16 and I guess I can say it describes what pain meant to me back then when I didn't really know what the pain that people inflict on you can really do..

Hurt is such a strange feeling

It’s like someone has sucked out the life in you

It’s not just when someone says something

That makes you think twice

And physical pain does not hurt that much

Hurt is an everyday thing

It’s so normal, you get used to it

What you don’t get used to

Are the people causing it

People that come and leave

And that never come back

People who meant the world to you

But you never meant anything in theirs

Memories you want to replay

Destroyed polaroids  

Episodes that you want to forget

Sentences that stick in your mind

And are never forgotten

A smile

A bar on the outside of town

A bottle of beer

And yet,

No one can understand

Pain is a strange thing in the human as pain can be physical but the pain deep within us is the worse one becoz you cant but a bangade over it to make it better... yes deal with pain everyday but the pain comes from the people that cause it in the first place... well written poem good job :)
