Pain is...
Listening to your parents,
Shout
Pain is...
Seeing your mother
Weep for your fathers love
Pain is...
The crashing
Of father losing his temper
Pain is...
Being told of the death,
Of the one whom you love
And whose funeral you cannot go to
Pain is...
Crying in the dark
When your parents sleep softly
Pain is...
The shame
Of the bully at school
Pain is...
Pain is...
Bravery
Bravery, for every injustice
The brave sit and take
Not from a vulnerable nature
Or the shyness of the soul
But the bravery,
Of not taking the easy way out.
