Layerable Pain

I'm screaming in pain.

Can't you see that?

Just peel away a few layers,

And you will see.

I'm shouting out to the world.

What else can I do?

Choose not to see,

But my pain is there.

Love, anger, jealousy, sadness.

It's all there.

Can you see it?

I bet you can't.

This pain,

Shoved deep inside,

Hidden where no one will look.

Time to peel a few layers away.

Layer, by layer.

Each pain is reviled.

My screaming is slowing.

Dying out.

I have shown the world

All of my pain and sorrow.

If you choose to ignore it,

That's your choice.
