    What Does it Take?

    To see darkness, there must be something wrong.
    To feel emptiness, there must be something missing.
    But when you feel nothing at all, what does it mean?
    Was there ever anything there?
    Is this what was destined for you?
    This is no place for someone so young.
    So why is this pain feel like it belongs?
    What does it take to make it go away?
    A little slice of the wrists? A few more pills in? A burn to leave a dreadful scar?
    Where does this end?
    Why will people go through this?
    What does it take just to feel a little bit better?

    Sad when pain becomes the norm. Excellently expressed.

    Very good wording, sometime no matter what you try it will always be there. you just got to try to see past the pain, darkness, blood and find something deep inside of you that never knew was there

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
