Poem of Pain

Crying in the streets
Relief, hopes to seek

Relief of pain
Believe to gain

Growing is the pain
Self-inflicted injury is gained

Physical destruction to gain pain
Hoping to relieve emotional pain

The wound is bleeding
The heart is also bleeding

Physical blood felt bodily warm
Yet emotion blood felt icy cold

Walking to the end
Hoping to gain the sense

Strangely, the injury felt nothing
Yet, the pain of the wounded heart is growing

Pain, voluminous yet weightless
The volume rises while the weight dips

Pain, blinds my vision
Pain, deafens my hearing
Pain, dumbs my speech
Pain, numbs my nerves
