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
