Painful Memories Poem by jade Slatyer

Pain is not an emotion I know
Yet it's all I know
I can't feel it
Nor can I heal it

It happens all the time
For me, it's all I know

I've experienced first hand a fathers abuse
Yeah, sometimes it hurt
But I grew numb to the pain

I've witness my mother cry
And every time I wanted to die

That's all in the past now
But the memories still last

This may be hard to believe
For a girl whose just sixteen
But when I think the memories have left me
They come back to haunt me

You may find it hard to believe
But sometimes late at night I cry
Until I feel dead inside

So don't think I don't know pain
Because pain is all I've know.
