Pain

Pain—the best part of being human Pain—the worse part of being me Pain—a process of refining Pain—an aftermath of being mean Pain—the longings of young people Pain—a blessing or a curse Pain is just pain Nothing more and nothing less Pain—a redflag to the carefree Pain—a driving force for me Pain—a temple for the heartless Pain—the darkness I could see Pain—a burden for the childless Pain—the route for you to bear your kids Pain is some pain Something here(??) and something there(??) Pain—the cost of your tattooing Pain—a trademark of your sin Pain—a symptom of you living Pain—a yeast to your limping Pain—a reward for your heartbreak Pain—a cup y'all must taste Pain is much pain Some things hurt and some things burn Pain—a thing we hate to feel Pain—a sign of _this is real_ Pain—a sting that doesn't kill Pain—this isn't part of our deal Pain—the birth of my recklessness Pain—the death of my kindliness Pain has gain Body piercings are beautiful but it does pain Imagine you living without pain You'd bleed to death yet feel nothing You'd be betrayed yet not hurt You'd never cry because You can't feel pain Pain will be a myth I wonder if we'd enjoy life without pain How much more of childbirth Posted on 10th June, 2020 Critiqued by Tampi Lilian and Yacit Telfim
