I'VE KNOWN


I've known pain, 

A discomfort that mankind goes through. 

With experience, I try to overcome it. 

Born into a developing country, 

Pain became a web in which I lived in. 

Never went through a day without the stories of others touching me.

Making me wish I can getout of the state I get stuck in immediately . 

Pain! A sensation, torment that arrives without exceptions. 

Pain! a distress that no one wishes to encounter but; yet unavoidable.

Ive known pain through exposure and experience. 

What have you known?
