Pain taken freely

I would take the pain away

For a day

A week

A year

However long it takes

To make them feel alive

 

I would take the pain away

Make it my own

So they could live, laugh and love

So they could go to school

A normal child

However long it takes

To make them feel alive

 

I would take the pain away

Donate my hair

My blood

An organ if I have one to spare

To let them live

To let their shining faces light up a room

However long it takes

To make them feel alive

 

I would take the pain away

Donate my time

My energy

To someone who doesn’t have much

I have too much to keep to myself

However long it takes

However many days, months, or years

I would take their pain

And make it my own
