I still feel pain <br />I still cry <br />Twenty -four hours <br />Make a day <br />What's the difference? <br /> <br />The nights so quiet <br />I still hear my heart beat <br />And when I hurt <br />I still bleed <br />What's the difference? <br /> <br />Six years I was sober <br />And the grass is still green <br />But now I smoke weed <br />Will it make me normal? <br />I can't tell <br />What's the difference? <br /> <br />There will be those <br />Who don't see it my way <br />And those who are prisoners <br />Of themselves <br />I can't tell <br />Are they normal, if not <br />What's the difference <br /> <br />I'm leaving soon <br />As scared as I came <br />And given some time <br />I'll have problems again <br />But this time around <br />I know <br />What the difference is<br /><br />Matt Mondschein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-s-the-difference/
