I thought I was immune to pain,
Cause I had lived with it and i sure do know how it feels.
The wounds it gave me for as long as I could remember left something different but sensual
Because I stopped feeling it's sting each time it got treated.
The scars it left me suddenly embraced beauty and forgot it was meant to be hidden and not seen.

But it soon changed
It found a rival
And oohhh it fought so hard to keep me
An even though I felt my sanity leaving
I was scared, none of my six senses were functioning
It became a mixed feeling
I felt as though a shadow was soon about to gain control of my existence.
At first it was scary, threatening my identity cause have lived with it for so long that being distant seemed like a threat to me
But I was wrong
I was wrong to ever let you feel comfortable with me
I was wrong to build a fantasy when you all you ever did was worsen my health
You took more from me than I gave to you
You took my sanity, my sense of feeling, my existence
So on this day when love has finally found and fixed me,
I say GOODBYE PAIN.
Most times creating a fantasy when you are experiencing pain, only suppresses the time for healing.
