Do You Know What Pain Is?

Do you know what pain is?
To have a noose made of scrutiny
Put around your neck and to be
Hung on the ledge of hatred?
To have your opinion trapped
In your throat because the hands
Of "logic" bit your tongue?
Do you know what pain is?
To be forced to stand on the cliff
Called Sanity and stare into the
Abyss called The Future
As you're pushed ever closer?
Do you know what pain is?
To fall and know you can't get up?
To be alone...
To have no one to trust.
To never know what to do?
Do you know what pain is?
To no longer feel "pain".
To just know it should be there?
To know the abyss was made
For YOU?
And to know you're already there?
Do you know
What pain is
