The Hurting

Is it a horrific dream?
Am I sinking fast?
Could a person be so mean?
As to laugh and laugh
On my own
Could you ease my load?
Could you see my pain?
Could you please explain
The hurting

Could you understand a child
When he cries in pain
Could you give him all he needs?
Or do you feel the same?
All along
You've been told you're wrong
When you felt it right
And you're left to fight
The hurting

Get in line with the things you know
Feel the pain
Feel the sorrow
Touch the hurt and don't let go
Get in line with the things you know
Learn to cry
Like a baby
Then the hurting won't come back
