What is pain
Pain is a state of mind
Pain is the after effects of a haunting
The weight of a world watching you
I look in the mirror
You know what I see?
Such an unhappy girl
Staring back at me.
She sits and she stares
Waiting for something to change
Too much darkness to bare
That nests in her brain.
I come from a small island
People here get comfortable,
They know their neighbors,
They fish,
They hunt,
They pass down stories for generations,
School isn’t always important.
