Pains

Pain is not when you’re injured
Pain in not been plagued by an accident 

Neither is it when neighbors abuse
Nor when drunkard friends make their jest  

Pain is when you suffer the untold alone
Pain is the anguish that can never be lauded 

Pain is when you hungered, yet people think you are filled
Pain is when you lend and there’s non to sponge in your plight 

Pain is when you trekked places you journeyed on vehicles
Pain is when your plans withered while it’s yet executed 

Painful the more it be when in concrete jungle you dwell
Where elites live like barbarians yet it seems the norm 

Painful more and more it is when you strive education to get
Still you’re rated second class, not erudite enough 

It is painful when the system never works
It is more painful when democracy equates tyranny 

Painful it is when you succumb to unbeatable trends
Pain is in leaving landmark ambiguous for generation next to trudge
