Pain can only heal -
when it is seen and heard
In a world that is full of suffering
People make pain as a competition
They said strength is covering
Use distractions and external addition

I'm so tired to be forced to speak
and feel worse of responses -
that normalize abuse
They overuse the word abuse -
and lose its real meaning of agony

I'm so tired to shut myself down
and pour from an empty cup -
because other people have it worse

Pain can only heal -
when it is seen and heard
They said it's my fault -
because i'm vulnerable and quiet
Is that genuine support?
Or a mind of a stunted adult?
