I drive to work in this gloomy day
No rays of light to illuminate the sky
Nothing could fill ones soul with dread quicker that the droplets raining from above
The roads are slick
The grass is damp
The world is dark

I sit beside my windowsill
When the sun should be rising
Instead grey cotton ***** fill the sky
Drops of God's Tears fall upon us
Why is he so sad and gloomy?
He is not happy because the sky is dark
Why so sad?
Will we ever know

"Mommy?" I say as a walk through the door
"What is it dear" she replies with her heart in her voice
"I had a bad dream" I say "Can I lay with you?"
"Of course!" She answers in her sweetest, kindest, most heartfelt tone
I hop in her bed, just her and me
I grab her arm, she pulls me close
I hug her
She hugs back

Mama, what is pain?
Pain is hurt
When what gets hurt, Mama?
Your feelings, your body, your life
Have you been hurt, Mama?
Many times
When, Mama?
When your father left us
Why did he leave, Mama?
He was in Pain

Why can't you understand I have feelings, too

Everything you say to me hurts

I do have feelings, just like everyone else

I may not be normal, to your definition, at least

That does not give you the right to treat me like that

I never say anything

Maybe that is whats wrong with me

I was happy as a child

What happened?

I do have feelings, too
