Pain has nothing to gain,
except for my suffering.

It claimed my life,
it stole everything I worked for.

Pain never asked to be invited
nor if I have room for two,
it doesn't care
if I am happy or
doing well.

Pain is not my friend
nor a support worthy of my time.

Pain came when I least expected it,
it broke down my door
and my dreams.
