Teenage Pain
The pain is like a knife peeling an apple.
Deeper and deeper the wound gets.
Taking ever so longer to heal.
I want it to end.
To stop the knife
Bring an end to this incessant pain.
My brain is tired, fatigued, exhausted.
But my body keeps me here.
Awake.
You’d get used to it, wouldn’t you?
A knife stabbing at your skin.
No, you wouldn’t
What you thought would get better only worsens.
Becoming not only painful, but irritating.
A bead of water falls from my eye,
Another, another.
I can’t stop it now,
A waterfall.
Pain is a reminder of recklessness,
Forcing regret upon us
Gravity is there, helping regret.
Regret digs, pain pushes,
Gravity makes sure of the fall
Salty pebbles trickle down.
Following the curve of my face.
Filling each line a crevice
Finally running over my dry lips.
The pain is insufferable.
No longer can I live like this
The knife still peeling,
Taking away more of who I used to be.
And replacing me with this,
This relentless pain.
The more I do nothing about it
The more I wish I did.
