Pain
A riveting and selfish thing
It comes and goes as it pleases
It comes when you are at peace
It takes your happiest thoughts and turns them into agonizing memories
It gives you a glimpse of what could’ve been but what can never be
It ignites every inch of your body and feeds into your aching soul
It eats away at your heart until there’s nothing left but the crumbs
Pain carefully decides who it will tarnish and knows when it is not wanted
Pain is not a friend nor an enemy
It is an energy that resonates in all and is engorged in only a few
For those who have not met pain yet, you will
For those who have encountered the ugly beast
It does not get better and just may get worse
You will grow to realize that pain will be a part of you forever
Just when you thought it went away it fights back harder than it ever was
Live your life curiously and don’t let pain scare you
Even though it will always be there you must remember
Pain wants to be you, will you let it?
