Pain

Have you ever known, what it really feels like,
When your every thought tends to strangle you from the inside.
Have you ever known, what it really feels like,
When your every single teardrop, you know you must hide.

Have you ever known, what it really feels like,
When your realize your near ones don't know who you are.
Have you ever known, what it really feels like,
When your near ones are the ones you start to fear.

Have you ever known, how bad your life can be,
When you are dying all alone, with no one else to see.
Have you ever known, how your life could be a pain,
When no one else can see your tears as you walk through the rain.

Have you ever known, how far you should go and fight,
Before you finally give in to the pain and end your night.
Have you ever known, that feeling which keeps lingering on,
Always reminding you that you'll never see the break of dawn.

Have you ever known, the slightest hint of a secret inspiration,
Which makes you move ahead, in midst of utter desperation.
The heart bleeds through this pen, as I write down these words,
What my heart has had to bear, while living among double edged swords.

I can't blame no one, since I brought this fate upon me,
Like a quicksand it shall pull me in, the more I try to be free.
Have you ever seen a man smile, even when he is in utmost sorrow,
I'll continue hiding behind the smiling face hoping for a better tomorrow.
