Pain Is Ever So Present
“Pain” is ever so present, but on the surface
You are bright and blue and have calmness in you.
The thing is the trouble underneath, you may
Not be able to see the pain and the struggle you feel.
When you travel deeper inside and you will
Shiver to see what is underneath.
Almost nothing goes down there but
The lucky few to the cold darkness inside you.
You feel the everlasting pain but you shine
And smile making everyone happy, but deep
Down the pain haunts you.
When the darkness is overwhelming
And someone sees the pain inside.
The wave’s crash down and the perfect
Storm comes alive. So much pain and darkness
Hidden from the world until it breaks,
And the beautiful exterior comes tumbling down.
Your heart pounding, your eyes shinning
With tears by the physical pain you feel.
You let everything go, the thing is when
The storm is over the pain does not end.
You go back to normal and become
Calm, sad part is the show of
Calmness outside is hiding the cold
Dark place engulfed by pain.
