In the language of medicine
and in the dictionaries
Pain is a physical feeling
caused by an injury
that hurts the body

In the language of romanticism
and for the lovers out there
Pain is the result
when someone you loved dearly
has left you behind

For me,
Pain is the time when you
look at the mirror
calling yourself fat, ugly, and worthless
as tears fall from your eyes

That is pain.
