A Day Without Pain
Never heard of it, yet I yearn for it
I hear the problems being spouted off, the needless and ungrateful
As though I am not being suppressed nor repressed from these desires
Is it too much to ask for the simple things in life that all have?
I imagine that I would be running through the open fields
without a care in the world, stumbling and laughing
And getting up as though nothing happened
Even with a hand being offered to me in case I fall again
Pain would have been nonexistent in my fantasies
These indescribable emotions leading to moments of pure bliss
Those fleeting glimpses of my own naïveté
The memories made in such a short amount of time
The times I cannot help but dwell on what I do not have
The fleeting things we all take for granted
That divides us from real fulfilment
Robbing us of any chance for true happiness
I write this from the sidelines as I gaze out at the streets
Seeing them walking side by side, hand in hand
Their eyes fixated on only one another
The object of my affections
And the girl of his dreams
I stumble once more
And get up as though nothing happened
