There are pains that you can talk about
and share your distress
like the pain of harsh words and actions
the pain of poverty and struggle for survival - which when you overcome, a matter of pride and respect.
Being physically hurt, or
the pain of separation, perhaps?
These pains that one can claim as one's own
and talk about and seek justice
And then, there are the pains that can never be spoken about...
Drunk like poison -
stuck in the throat, turning it blue,
making the systems go haywire.
slowly
slowly
killing you...
