Original Submission by Darius Carasco

Pain

Oh, what a pain it is

To lose Liam Payne

A man who had so much fame

And yet so humble

A man who was kind to people

But people were blind

To see his mental struggles.

People will mourn

Cause their hearts have been torn

They are shocked

But Liam’s struggles were not blocked.

The world will never forget

The name “Liam Payne”

A man who was in a boy band

A man always willing to lend a helping hand.

Liam’s soul was pure

I just wish there was a cure

For his mental pain

But now, this wish is in vain.

Rest in peace, dear Liam

You were a light in our lives

A joy for your fans

Your songs were a remedy for pain

Your voice a hurricane of charm.
