Bottled Pain


Tears fall down her rosey cheecks

Black rain appears from her eyes

Nose all stuffed up. For weeks

She stays in her shell from her babes

All her pain bottled up ready to ship

her feelings away. Later riding her jeep 

still crying, face stained arriving at her friends, she peeks

under her galasses whispering she says

"N~O MO~RE P~A~I~N" Her torment only stops when she sleeps.
