About Pain

About Pain What is pain, how does it hurt? Do you know, would you know? Life begins with pain, for someone else. Eventually finding its way to everyone else. Existing in our existence, intertwined, varyingly guised in its approach. Bruises to abrasions. lacerations to gashes. Trauma is just one of its varying fashions. Love, betrayal, family and friends. Social deconstruction of personal intimacies, another chamelic masterdom. Depression, psychosis, internal stressors of the mind. Psychological stability unbalanced by this cloaked marauder. Belief, faith, value and dignity. The fabric of the soul unwoven by this camouflaged assailant. This omnipresent, omnipotent, indiscriminate, superfluous, hunter of happiness. Waiting, lurking, like a predator in the brush. Salivating, to devour all aspects of life. So that even in death, someone else feels pain.
