The Power of Pain
pain is a mover,
and a shaker,
stirs one to action
to escape its evil claws
It has its own schedule-
and mocks your attempts
to deal with it
and it never takes a pause
Its tendrils spread throughout-
as certain bastions of misery-
scattered all about-
the fortress of agony
you can try to ignore it,
but never successfully,
or fight it with med's
but you will be forced to see
such efforts are so useless,
It was what was meant to be
you can't reason with it,
just endure it until
it's had its merry fill
of sadistic persecution,
don't let it break your will
alone I battle
fear of death
at times
creeps into my thoughts....
