Pain

First it starts with a simple prick.
But you never let it phase you.
Yet then it spreads.
To the rest of your body.

It's what you want.
You know you deserve it.
You know you don't deserve to feel this way.
You were never meant to be happy.

You were never meant to be the cute one.
Or the one that everyone liked.
You were never meant to be happy.
You were only there to put a smile,
    on everyone else's face.

The pain keeps spreading,
      until your body falls.
It falls to the fears, the wants, the desire.
It falls to the helplessness that is your life.
It falls to the power that wants you gone.

Your body is impaired,
    while your mind races.
You can't stop it now,
    yet you don't want to.

You know it's your time.
And you don't want to live a minute longer.

    It just means that you will do anything to make people happy, no matter what it does to you. You will give up what you have, to make someone else feel better. I don't know if that helps, but that's just what it means.

    Thats good, a bit confusing, but good nonetheless. "You were never meant to be happy. You were only there to put a smile on everyone else's face" I don't really understand that part. When I make other people happy/smile, it makes me happy. But hey, maybe thats just me. It was well written and I enjoyed reading it.

    Sounds kinda like me..heh..I grew up always being the one people either made fun of, or just looked to for amusement...err..something like that anyway. Things are getting better now at least...but perhaps that's because the community that exists in college is so much different than the environment of private catholic schools..ick..oh well...great write
