My Name Is Mr Pain
No, you are not blind, and your eyes are fine; but you can't see me. I am strong like a giant oak tree, and like a train that is hard to stop. Everybody knows me and have felt my presence one time or another. I've a name and claim to fame, but most people relate to me the same.
Lest I keep you in suspense and my words start sounding like nonsense, please just call me Mr. Pain.
No, you are not deaf and your ears are fine; but you cannot hear me, because when I come around, I often arrive without a sound. If you should fail to find out what's wrong with you, I'll just keep coming back. Yes, medicine can treat and force me to retreat, but it can never kill me.
You see, I'm just a messenger or a signal to let you know that something is wrong. No, I do not appear like an innocent little child; and I don't come with smiles nor sweet fragrances. However, I do swing enough influence to completely alter your mind and your lifestyle.
When I arrive, you can treat me but not defeat me. Like I said, I'll come back again, and if you only treat me, I'll always be and act the same. My name is Mr. Pain. So my advice to you is to attack the one who sent me. Get rid of him and I'll be gone. My name is Mr. Pain.
