Pain

Sometimes the physical pain
Can overmask the emotional.
It may not seem rational,
But it is. Because emotions ,
They don’t cause pain.
“Hurt” is not an emotion.
But we’ve made it become one.
Sad, mad, fear,
They cause your stomach to do somersaults.
And that’s what hurts,
It’s not the emotion,
But the pain.
Just the pain.
