Pain

I see so many people, holding in so much pain.

So many people, holding back tears.

So many people, trying to hold on.

But their pain, their tears and their struggles.

Find their way to me, and make themselves known through the tears I cry.

I see so many people smiling, trying to hold in their screams.

But their hearts leak out and seek me, to tell me what they feel.

And I cannot help but, to feel all this pain.

And feel bad for not being, able to help any of them.

I'm crying so much, with a glimpse of pain.

That I'm becoming afraid of seeing, a single tear from another.

That I'm becoming demanding, that I'm becoming an ineffective shield.

To try and hide that pain, while making it worse.

I cry and break down over, what seems like nothing.

My heart rips and tears itself to pieces, trying to find out how to make it stop.

But it's impossible to make it stop.

Because pain is part of, the human way of life.

It is within every person, within every corner.

Pain is all over the world, and all over my mind.

So should I just cave in and, cry myself to numbness?

Should I keep trying, to make the pain disappear?

the answer is neither of these, for the answer doesn't exist.
