What is pain
When your parent hits you
Or when they call you names
Or when one touches you sexually
Is the pain physical or emotional
When the life that started to grow
Is so cruelly torn from your womb
Is the pain physical or emotional
When your love says they love you
Only to turn into a monster
The yelling, fighting, rape
His threat of killing himself
If you leave him
Then only to have him almost kill you
The stalking, the calls, the fear
Is the pain physical or emotional
When you realize that you getting old
That you haven’t done anything
But survive for years
To be stuck in survival mode
The relearning to live
To overcome your past
Is the pain physical or emotional
