Pain

Pain.
It is reflected in everyone’s eyes.
Blue, brown, green, and hazel flames,
Burning through the world’s population.
Lost love, lost friends,
Lost limbs, lost life.
Our civilization loses everything
But pain.
Pain lives on in everything we try to accomplish.
Try to accomplish.
Even as we go through school,
Trying to act cool,
Exposing ourselves to the type of pain
That prepares us for the pain of real life.
Lost jobs, lost money,
Lost marriages, lost minds.
The real world loses everything
But pain.
