Pain



PAIN

What a name?
A name that carries anger, pain, memories and sorrow.
A name given to me by my friends, family and loved ones.
Pain, what a word.
A word written all over me.
A word written in my body and heart.
A word that left scars all over me.

Pain, what a reminder?
A reminder of my past.
A reminder of my mistakes.
Pain, is it just a word or what?
It all bring sadness and sorrow.
It makes wounds bleed all over agin.
It brings fear.


Pain, what a word?
Its just four words with a powerful meaning.
A word that has destroyed and killed many.
Pain, what a name and killer of souls.
