Pain is not falling and skinning your knee. Pain is not getting a splinter underneath your skin. Pain is not getting a paper-cut on the pad of your fingers. Pain is not cutting your elbow on hot pavement. Pain is when you can no longer go on. Pain is having a bruised, broken, and battered heart. Pain is when you can't look in the mirror without screaming. Pain is when no one in the whole wide world gives a damn about you. That is pain. Pain is when you're blank inside. Pain is when you constantly feel like giving up. Pain is when you no longer care about anything. Pain is when your life is a living nightmare. That is pain. You may think you know what pain is, but you don't. You think you know how I feel, but you don't.

Peace for now. Stay alive.
