PAIN

Pain is quite invisible
And it's just like the air.
'Cause while you can not see it
There's no doubt that it is there.

Perceptions of pain differ,
In that my headache may feel
Quite different from the one you have.
But both are very real.

You can't diminish someone's pain
By saying, "It's not that bad."
Unless you're there inside their skin,
You can't know the pain they've had.

There's pain that prickles, pokes and prods.
And pain that's underrated,
Pain so intense and piercing
That it screams to be sedated.

If someone tells you they're in pain
They likely mean what they say.
So please don't scoff or laugh or scold.
It could be you someday.

FMS pain is relative
To the pain of the hour before.
There's pain that knocks us off our feet,
Or sneaks in the back door.

We'd rather our pain weren't relative
'Cause relatives stick around.
Better it were a stranger
Who'd pack its bags and leave town.
