HOW MUCH PAIN DOES THIS WORLD NEEDS?
Does it hurt, when a heart breaks? Does it hurt, when someone fails? Does it hurt, when a person loses someone? Does it hurt, when you’re alive and every other thing fades? Does it hurt, when you’re all alone? Does it hurt, when you’re on your own? Does it hurt, when someone blames? Does it hurt, when something you own but the other claims? Does it hurt, when others get hurt? Does it hurt, when it’s someone else’s pain?
Does it hurt, when the raindrops fall? Does it hurt, when something touches the heart? Does it hurt, when you feel the peace? Does it hurt, when you’re finally relieved? Does it hurt, when you take it all out? Does it hurt, when you at last say it aloud? Does it hurt, when you confess? Does it hurt, when it’s not anymore a secret? Does it hurt, when it’s a fact? Does it hurt, when everyone laughs? Does it hurt, when you wish something? Does it hurt, when it never fulfils? Does it hurt, when you get surprised? Does it hurt, when you yearns for a might?
Does it hurt, when you’re in love? Does it hurt, when you’re not in love? Does it hurt, when it’s just you in the love? Does it hurt, when no one feels the love? Does it hurt, when everyone’s in the love? Does it hurt, when everyone’s still hurt? Does it hurt, when everyone seems the same? Does it hurt, when no one still gets the game? Does it hurt, when everyone’s calling? Does it hurt, when all are ignoring? Does it hurt, when it’s all hate? Does it hurt, when all are just in wait? Does it hurt, when it’s common? Does it hurt, when it yet feels abnormal?
Does it hurt, when you can’t say it? Does it hurt, when you write it? Does it hurt, when you recite it? Does it hurt, when you hum it? Does it hurt, when you sing it? Does it hurt, when the body waves on it? Does it hurt, when you create it? Does it hurt, when you make it? Does it hurt, when you convey it? Does it hurt, when you relate it? Does it hurt, when you enjoy it? Does it hurt, when it hurts?
Does it hurt, when you’re stuck? Does it hurt, when it goes on? Does it hurt, when you describe it right? Does it hurt, when it’s just black and white? Does it hurt, when it’s all wrong? Does it hurt, when a picture is drawn? Does it hurt, when you fill the colours? Does it hurt, when it’s a bit blur? Does it hurt, when it becomes an art? Does it hurt, when the pieces fall apart? Does it hurt, when you’re broken? Does it hurt, when it’s not your part?
Does it hurt, when you feel the void? Does it hurt, when you see the mirror? Does it hurt, when it’s still unclear? Does it hurt, when you meet the eyes? Does it hurt, when you read the lies? Does it hurt, when the water slides? Does it hurt, when the truth it still hides? Does it hurt, when you’re helpless? Does it hurt, when you’re restless? Does it hurt, when it’s all in your control? Does it hurt, when you have no role? Does it hurt, when you’re with yours all? Does it hurt, when some stranger is called?
Does it hurt, when it seems beyond the time? Does it hurt, when you feel nothing’s mine? Does it hurt, when the soul screams? Does it hurt, when you dream? Does it hurt, when you’re weak? Does it hurt, when someone pushes you more beneath? Does it hurt, when you stand strong? Does it hurt, when you’re on peak alone? Does it hurt, when there’s no scope? Does it hurt, when you still hope? Does it hurt, when everything’s done? Does it hurt, when you’re still on? Does it hurt, when you decide to stop? Does it hurt, when you move on? Does it hurt, when you question? Does it hurt, when it hurts?
