Pain's Novocaine

Numb my torment on this worrisome
day. I seek not relief from all things 
that are natural. I know not how I will
cease this anguish. 

So, I wrestle with an ache so deep in my
abdomen that I relinquish all my desires. 
Please release sensible peace inside my soul;
help me crave healing and strength within.

I beg of you   - - -   feed my pain…
                          …with Novocaine.



I chose Pain's Novocaine
