TO PAIN

You know she is a God awful person.

I just want to go off on a tantrum.

But I keep my mouth shut and let her speak.

Tho' I want to break her, say I hate her.

Instead I just stay meek.

The amount of restraint I show

Is not for the faint of heart

But unless I want to go to court

I have to play my part

Somewhere in me I find pity

For no one knows "the way"

So why would you fight

With one who "does"

When it only leads to pain?
