Pain

Gained over a period of time.

I would trade my life to save yours

I would give my last to see you smile for a moment

I would give up failure to show you that anyone can succeed

Someone will always deserve this life more than I do

How can I sleep knowing that others live in pain and sadness

A child with no parents is a child with no home

A family with no answers on how they will make it into the next week

A child feeling worthless for living because he cant help his mom pay bills

A young mother feeling so alone so she uses drugs or alcohol as her escape

A young man brought up with no guidance so the life of drugs guides him

A family cries for more time as they get kicked out of their only home

A mother that works every day of every week to give her kids the world

A son that will never remember his father

A father that was taken away to soon

A sister being used by men

A daughter feeling so alone

Pain isn't felt until it's experienced

One day everything that remembers you will be gone

To never exist is painful

White man killing Black man you are lost

Black man killing White man you are lost

Black man killing Black man you are lost

White man killing White man you are lost

Are we not all people
