The Pain Will Never Go Away
The pain will never go away,
The wounds will never heal,
The black will never turn to gray,
The blood will not congeal,
The evil that was done to me,
Is now my eyes, my heart,
The violence is never through,
The past does not depart,
The time will merely make me whole,
Consuming who I am,
Part mother of an angry soul,
Part child of despair,
Part sufferer, Part comforter,
Pert victim, Part new song,
Part witness, and Part conqueror,
Of all that did me wrong.
