What is pain?

The embodiment of my current life

Anybody know what pain looks like?

Feels like a dream sometimes, it feels like a Nightmare.The pain was more sharp in highschool, now it's like I'm suffocating.

The ability to endure is there, but to what extent is it necessary?

What does pain look like? It hurts but I can't see it. I can feel it but I can't take it away. 

Am I better for ensuring or should I cry out? But that would be exhausting...what is, pain?

Thinking about moving before you move, is that critical? Or should it be fluent like a ritual, it's natural right?

What is pain that I can't account for every moment I sleep, because for a moment I'm free....what is pain to where there days are just divided by light and dark?

How selfish am I to be I pain when I have 3 children that bare my name, what is pain to say that I have to rely on them to support me at 33, what is pain?

That my emotions are insane, hard to control because they are backed by....sooo many flames, pain! What is in my name that says that we all shouldn't suffer the same, we shouldn't, but who can tell, pain?

It has become the driving force for my outlets, pain, there is no fear left when you live in, so higher I sore and the more I thrive, pain.

Bare your cross and live in the flames of pain until you become clean of all that burdens you, pain.!
