Pain

Pain is a feeling
That flows through your veins
 
It is caused by fretting 
Over people who couldn’t care less
And the stress
That messes with your head
 
It is the deep ache inside
That needs to be fixed
But who has the time
To stop and find the rest
That is needed to tape up the whole in my chest
 
Pain is the feeling
That you get 
When you’re broken and hunched over
With all your regrets
 
It is what lives inside you 
And dares you to fix
Knowing that nothing 
Will mend your broken bits

Opinionated

To say 
I'm not very opinionated 
To start with
Is not the truth
 
I have much to say 
But words escape me
 
My mind goes blank 
And I hold my tongue
 
Assuming things
You fill the blanks
And say
Well you're not very opinionated to begin with
 
But you've only seen
A part of me
 
A part that's grown
Or better yet,
Shrunk
 
As school has taught me 
To hold my tongue.
