When
Lynn Williams 1991 (Port of Spain General Hospital)
When will we get past our pain,
The pains of past events.
It's overbearing,
When will be the end of the mindly torment.
When can we see the past,
And not be triggered.
I know it's not easy,
This much I figured
When will we be able to smile freely,
When will we be able to be at peace.
When when when,
When will the pain cease.
