House of Pain

Cold, dingy, solitary place where my mind
Takes up residency
You can't see it with the naked eye
Because of the well built smile
And my comical ways.
Deep within lies all the hurt, mental anguish
family abandonment
And total heartache.

Inside this house of pain, alone in a corner
A scared little boy sits and cries...
Cries for love and attention and wishes to fit in.
I try to do unto others as I would have others
do unto me
Yet when the deeds are done, they forget about me.

It would seem I am the only one home
in this house of pain
Trapped inside, searching for a crumb
One small morsel of love
But who needs love anyway
When I have my house of pain?
