Pain-
It isn't always a thorn in your feet,
Or the throbbing ache from an overused mind,
Nursing a starved heart.
Fear-
It isn't the Boogeyman in your closet,
Or the silence left behind by a slam of the door,
With his parting words.
Sadness-
It isn't crying into your pillow at night,
Or the broken pieces of a family photo,
Shattered on the floor.
Pain is invisible.
Fear is amiable,
Sadness is insatiable.
