Useless Pain


			By what right do females 
			Have the power to pain and confuse me?
			Why?
			Such small acts,
			Thoughtless by them,
			Yet creating great pain and doubt in me.
			Susceptible to pain never before felt.
			Oh useless pain!
			Where does it get me?
			Digging...
			Deeper...
			Hiding from life,
			Hiding from the pain,
			Hiding from all those who hold the power.
