Pain


Imagine stepping barefoot on broken glass
And wanting to cry out in pain
But can't
That shrill scream suppressed
Yet reflected through the grimace on your face
Evidence that the pain is unbearable
Shining from your eyes
And yet you refuse to cry
Not that you don't want to
But tears just won't fall
Not that you don't need help
But who can you call
Who's willing to listen?
They all said they'd be there
When you need them
They're missin'
You learnt your lesson
From the cruel teacher called life
Though everyone's taking shot's at you
You keep running down the road
With all your might
With all your pride
With all your fears
You done put up so many walls over the years
Creatively finding ways to depend on no one but yourself
Trusting God only
fuck everyone else
