(6/7/91 / Casa Grande)

What do you think this poem is about?

Pain

pain surrounds you day to day
nothing helps it go away
pain in muscles pain in joints
pain so bad in trigger points.

pain that comes and pain that goes
pain that keeps you on your toes.
pain that people think is in your head.

pain that people don't know
when you sit in your bed wishing you were dead
pain that they will have to go through
pain they will have to see.
what it took to just be me.

pain I go through just at school
pain I wish will make me cool
pain that they will never see what it took to just be me

pain in your life
that makes you strive
to just survive

pain that it took
To just be me
pain i go through.
but people can't see.

    It's amazing how you put them words together. Everything you said in your poem i feel the same way.I thought i was the only person that felt this way about how people cant feel your pain or understand the things you go though.
