Pavement

It doesn't hurt right now
I will be fine somehow
Don't worry, even if I bleed.
I feel nothing, pain is not a seed.

It won't grow and take over.
I won't let it become my only lover.
Don't worry, even if I die.
Don't blame pain, don't even cry.

Pain doesn't move, it doesn't go away.
And in my heart, it is there to stay.
I tried hard, I tried what I can.
please understand, I am just a man

I thought to myself and took a step
And prayed to die, before I hit the pavement.
