Pain
April 16, 2019
Pain, like a stab
Oh, what is pain?
A needle jab,
Or a year without rain?
Pain is the feeling
That you are lone
Alone with no friends
Alone with no home
Pain is when you fall
Off a swing and break your arm
Just when you thought
That you couldn’t be harmed
Pain is a bully
who calls me a freak
And steps on my foot
Every day for a week
Pain is the names
That my brother will shout
The names that make me wish
That he didn’t have a mouth
Pain is the time
when I didn't have friends
This pain is an injury
That band-aids won’t mend

This piece is about a period of time during 5th grade when I felt like I had no friends. I felt alone and lost until I realized that my friends were all around me; I just never realized it.
