The blood that taints the hands
the tears that end a life
how horrible these things are, but people find beauty in
it is scary, thinking about the pain
leave yourself alone if you want to discover
the pain
did it hurt, when you tripped and they laughed?
did it hurt when you cried so much you couldn't breathe at all?
did it hurt when you beat them up?
does it hurt?
pain doesn't help anyone
but sometimes, it'll help you
at the worst of times
