Do you know what pain is?

Pain is not feeling anything anymore
  not feeling hurts more than a gun shot or even child birth
  given I haven't gone through either of those...
  but I am fairly confident that I am right (you're right, i am full of crap)

Pain is seeing someone you love and not being able to recognize them

Pain is watching the one you love walk around as if you didn't exist
  as if you were part of the furniture...

Pain is not being able to express yourself except in mean, snide, and cruel remarks

Pain is not being able to say I miss you and I need a hug...

Pain is not being able to forget

Pain is flipping and flopping all night to be woken up to a dream where your father is casting demons out of you...

Pain is not being able to say I need to be held
  no words of comfort...no small talk...

Pain is putting one foot in front of the other and to keep moving forward
  without a goal or purpose...
  without a dream or care...
  without an acknowledgement from anyone...
  that you exist!


Do you know what pain is?
