So what type of pain has the main character sitting in a car in a closed garage turning the car on and off?

Suicide attempt? Or just building courage to get away...except the doors to the garage are closed? I love the thought process this poem made me run through! I read it twice, just rolling the words around in my head, getting a taste for them, analyzing exactly what this poem could mean to me, what it spoke to me of.

I think of a person (you or some character you have created for the "I" in this poem) laughing, scorning those who feel like they are "in pain" when in reality it's just some bruised emotion, some hurt feeling.

I get the feeling that the MC is the one truly wallowing in something dark, hurtful, desperate, and he/she is reflecting on how pain is something you don't know until you've experienced it. It isn't something fleeting where, in a few days' time, in a few months, or a couple years, it will go away...it's something that scars and embeddens itself in you.

Great poem, great job. I really loved exploring it.
