I used to have a philosophy Much like mass I thought pain was neither created nor destroyed Merely transferred from one to another Constantly circling And I thought if I hurt it would take away the pain of others
Before I went to sleep I would curl up in a ball imagining that I was taking the pain out of a child's scraped knee, or giving peace to a man's last breath, or saving you from a couple more tears I slept with a smile on my face
