"Never Pain"

We talk about discomfort, never pain.

Otherwise, we might admit to hurting.

We chuck our time and money down the drain.

It is our own pride that we're deserting.

Must try to stay upbeat, and never sad.

We count the calories in every cake,

that we'll eat anyway, and just feel bad.

Don't throw the dice yet. Have another shake.

We fail to make our loved ones understand:

Attention spans are not quite long enough.

Oceans devour castles made of sand.

We wait for somebody to call our bluff.

We talk about discomfort, never pain.

Otherwise, we would admit to to hurting.
