Notes About The Poem

Masochist

great pleasure in self-torment;
the more painful, the better.
Addicted to discomfort,
feeding it with glee!

The quote is from the kind of person who would really understand this. Personally I cannot relate to it, but I know some do!! ((and one thing is so true. Without pain, we would never understand true pleasure or joy because we would take it for granted).
