I listened in my mind
And i was screaming inside
Cancer, broken leg, STD's
AIDS, glaucoma, stomach aches
gunshot wounds, lacerations, broken heart
it's all pain
it's all one part of your body
screaming for relief
screaming for attention
'LOOK AT ME'
'PAY ATTENTION TO ME'
'STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING'
'I NEED HELP'
Burn victims, drug addicts, shivering cold
lost a parent, fell on the concrete, got punched in the face
scraped a knee, broke a leg, killed a pet
We're all hurting, we can't talk
If we talk, we'll lash out at you
"LEAVE ME ALONE"
"IF I TALK TO YOU"
"I WILL DESTROY YOU"
"WITH MY WORDS"
"AND MY CYNCICISM AND SARCASM"
"DON'T PRETEND"
"TO CARE"
I'm hurting inside.
When I was hurting outside, the symptoms were the same.
I can't talk, I can't eat, I can't move.
It hurts to do it.
It makes it hurt more.
I need to sit here.
There's no comfort for me, because the pain persists.
Nothing will help.
"YOU NEED JESUS"
Thanks, genius. I need Jesus to keep my heart beating.
I need Jesus to keep my liver working.
I need Jesus to provide air to breathe when I work around.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY THAT?
I know what would take the pain away.
It's not coming.
The pain will go away.
Some day.
Until then, I will try my best.
Not to spread my pain.
I will be nice to you.
