Relative

Some write full of anger, fury, or strife. I write from my everyday life. I have emotions that I say are sharper than a knife. Either way, some don't feel the same as I do late at night. Don't assume this is for pity. I don't want your sympathy. I just want to prove a point that might remove these chains and finally set me free. Relative is the pain that everybody feels, but relative also applies to how long it takes to heal. Cuts and scrapes and bruises all have their time. The same is said for his and hers and mine.
