Common Pain
Common Pain
The young woman traumatized
The events that guided taught her lessons about life
Rich in memories and lessons, while others are broke
The pain that stabs because of their ignorant jokes
She truly understands harassment and rape
Biggest part of her life, she cannot shake
Trust issues holding her back
Pain coming from a sword rather a tack
Fake smiles everyday on her face
Distanced herself from everybody, too much space
The trauma that consumes her life
In which it screws up her state of mind
The memory and thought that doesn’t expire
Paranoia of similar situations happening had guided her
Being careful of doing anything wrong
Preventing it from happening again, she had became so strong
A rose that grew from concrete
Disregarding every suspicious guy that she meets
She can’t help it
Her protection, she simply can’t sell it
It’s, sadly, a common pain a lot go through it
Making them feel broken, society is ruined
