The Bad Poet

Pain, so much pain

  Pain you’ve missed ‘cause you ran away

  Hurt so deep that you refused to understand

  Then you said I didn’t mean to wound you

  And you apologized for the thousandth time

  Heartbroken and discouraged I go out into the world with a smile on my face

  a smashed soul directing my body to do wrong

  Oprah telling me to keep loving myself and to find my worth

  But it’s harder than a one way conversation on a flat screen

  So, I have sex, then a baby to give me worth

  Pain, so much pain
