Pain, a four letter word.

A word so hurtful,

Yet addictive.

A feeling that can cause your world,

To crumble and fall.

A feeling that can cause your mind,

The prison we call mind,

To lose all control over your soul.

It moves through the body.

Like electricity, pushing through your soul.

You can feel it,

In the deepest crevices in your body.

A feeling so intense,

You lose all sense of sanity.

It draws your attention,

Like a moth attracted to a flame.

It frees you,

From the darkness.

The darkness inside.

A minute, an hour, a day,

Pain is a saviour.

Pain is a distraction.

No wonder some are addicted.

Pain is like a drug.

And once you taste it, you never stop.
