Pain Doesn't Ask For I.D.
Pain doesn't care your age or race
You won't get carded at the door
Asked if your old enough to handle these feelings
Some lose their moms at three
For being different or schizophrenic
Then being carelessly handed over to a guardian
Who didn't want them
Or being homeless at fifteen
For being a momma too young
Pain doesn't ask are you ready for the ride
It just injects its self into your veins
Just for fun
I got angry today
I guess i'm emo I guess that means emotional
I don't know i'm not a young one
I'm aged and have been through the storms
Yet I haven't yet grown the calluses
It takes to turn a blind eye
When someone is being hurt
Just for the hell of it
I should know better by now
Anger and bullying
Is just pain turned inwards
Or lashed out at the world
No pain doesn't ask for i.d.
It comes at any age
empathy is something
I guess you have to gain
You won't get carded at the door
Asked if your old enough to handle these feelings
Some lose their moms at three
For being different or schizophrenic
Then being carelessly handed over to a guardian
Who didn't want them
Or being homeless at fifteen
For being a momma too young
Pain doesn't ask are you ready for the ride
It just injects its self into your veins
Just for fun
I got angry today
I guess i'm emo I guess that means emotional
I don't know i'm not a young one
I'm aged and have been through the storms
Yet I haven't yet grown the calluses
It takes to turn a blind eye
When someone is being hurt
Just for the hell of it
I should know better by now
Anger and bullying
Is just pain turned inwards
Or lashed out at the world
No pain doesn't ask for i.d.
It comes at any age
empathy is something
I guess you have to gain

empathy-experiencing someone else's pain.empathy
has always let me touch emotions i find so hard
to do with my own pain,when i see someone cry
makes me cry not that i never cry for myself
but i tend to push my own pain down maybe when
i am crying for someone else some of my own pain is finding its way to the surface anyways i hate seeing people hurt as well

ty for such a heart felt comment..I feel you on not wanting to deal with your own pain..it's always easier to focus on another's pain..feeling empathy for them..I tend to block out my true feelings..i'm not good at going into those depths..I often take refuge in fantasy..wishing you peace Crim
