I Am Pain

****
Breath of my breath,
sufacating,
blood flows as pain settles deep;
crushing my life slowly.

Heat seeps upon the rising sun,
as the pens and needles ***** me, stinging my hands and feet.

Pain introduced itself as my friend,
only to steal everything I worked for.

I might suffer through
but I know how to fight
and struggle too.

These chains hold tightly to my life, over time I learn how to
untie my bonds.
Yet pain comes placing new chains
in place of the broken ones.

I am a prisoner too my pain.
