POETRY: "Pain" by Excel Abioye

PAIN

Pain!
Why do you have to hurt so much?
Why do you have to make me cry so much?
Why do you have to make me suffer so much?

Pain!
Why can't you not hurt me?
Why can't you not make me cry?
Why can't you not make me suffer?

Pain!
Why can't you just disappear?
Why can't I just be relieved of you?
Why can't you just let me be?

Pain!
Why cause me so much heartache?
Why cause me so much sorrow?
Why cause me so much depression?

Pain!
Oh pain, pain
Oh pain
Oh pain!
