To Suit the Taste of Those Wishing to Relive It
Pain is only felt
By the one who is feeling it.
Both the history and the depth of it...
Is only known by the one who lives it.
There will be those who give their opinions.
With a belief of what the agony was like.
With rewrites and their versions.
But the only one giving a true insight...
Will often be the one not available for an interview.
With scars too long healed to choose to be remembered.
Or give a depiction too realistic...
That becomes glamourized,
To suit the taste of those wishing to relive it!
To say convincingly...
What they had to endure and experience,
Was not that bad of a discomfort.
