~Growth Hurt~

The pain I swallow
As I’m growing still
Is a pain to seize
If it pleased your will

My pain is silent
To protect your ears
You cannot feel it
So wash 'way my tears

You convince yourself
That I just complain.
So my feeble cry
Is the cause of pain?

As I cry all night
You will yell at me
If I whimper soft
It’s incessantly  

The cabinet’s bare
And the pain is hot
If you’d only care
If you’d only thought

My legs are screaming
With the pains of growth
Out of sight, your mind
I was always both...

Hey, "My pain is self chosen..." too, "so the perfect says."  Also, "My pain is self chosen, at least I believe it to be."  I know you remember these lyrics Walt.  Anywho, this is gr8!  Silent pain is so cool!  

You convince yourself
That I just complain.
So my feeble cry
Is the cause of pain?

Pain makes you stong!  How strong ru?

Good one, Walt. I hope you don't mind when I say that I read a good bit inside this beauty of a poem. I know the message intended, and the other messages it could be. Just my mind working.

Wow, you said a mouthful here, Walt.  Pain sucks!
