Peaceful Pain

By Amelia Dion

Fighting for kicks
In this peaceful pain
For only family to know
To see in my face

For sobbing could only show the stinging
The screaming 
The pain
So only glory comes to those who harden
Who seal the cracks in their frame
Oh this peaceful pain

‘Stay tuff’ they say ‘trouble is what we are built for’
Can they not see the pleading in my eyes
Like a stray animal praying for its mother
We do love but that love is so easily lost 
And drowned 
And hunted
For another who thinks they will win

Oh this peaceful pain
