A Tiny Prick

The pain that cuts into you
It starts on the surface
A tiny prick
One you barely notice.
And then in increases...
It is an excruciating pain
A pain you feel deep in your bones
A pain you feel deep in your soul
A pain you can do nothing about.
The pain becomes part of you
It lives within you like a beast that will not flee
It takes hold of you and controls you
It destroys you.
Yet you bear it every day
You bear it with a fake smile
And the world believes you
They know nothing of your pain.
-A poem by Lily J.
