Broken Silence

What Is Pain?

Silence is broken

In pain there is no gain

Loss in hurt, Don’t know what it mean any more

Everyone deal with life differently

No one hear your pain

Calling out is no use

Each to its own

I am a empath but I wrote this for those, who cannot feel their pain or others pain. They are numb not because they want to be, but because that’s how their emotion are built. Everyone is different in dealing with pain. Some don’t know how to deal with it because they avoid it so-long and pretend it’s not there. How do you deal with your pain?Do you feel it at all?
