I am in pain.
-----
This knife will not withdraw
This bullet will not go through
This fire will not burn out
This noose will not be slackened.
These tears will never cease
These screams will go unheard
These aches will not be numbed
These words will be ignored.
-----
This pain is hidden
By the vacuum of loneliness
And the spiral of boredom
A smile and a laugh
Is all it takes
And this pain?
The world will never know.
Author notes
Spur of the moment write. Hard to do while watching 'Whose Line.'
