A Tiny Prick

, , Edit

The pain that cuts into you
It starts on the surface
A tiny prick
One you barely notice.


And then in increases...


It is an excruciating pain
A pain you feel deep in your bones
A pain you feel deep in your soul
A pain you can do nothing about.

The pain becomes part of you
It lives within you like a beast that will not flee
It takes hold of you and controls you
It destroys you.

Yet you bear it every day
You bear it with a fake smile
And the world believes you
They know nothing of your pain.

-A poem by Lily J.

    What?? That looks painful even if it's a dummy and your poem describes everything beautifully!
