Preferable Pain

Different pains can be preferable Though all hurts Though all hurts deep There are different flavors of ferocity Stinging, high pitched and sour screams Burning, low boiled growling Sharp, a swift high jab Psychological no not emotional, psychological My psyche hurts My emotions burn My soul stings My despair is sharpened None can be seen no evidence given no one forgiven My psyche HURTS The warmth between hypothermia and death warm and soft I want to sleep always sleep only sleep sleep is the only relief there is but one other waking relief Pain is relief a jolt a shock that punches you out of the emotions you're drowning in just a gasp but it's preferable to drowning a gasp a slap-in-the-face-wake-up gasp I can't breath a gasp
