Pain

I live deep within the deep blood of lonely children and sad souls.
I navigate through the painful scars of the deepest memories of the past.
As I peruse through the veins inside the flesh of a so-called human being.
I harbor inside a human mind and destroy it.
Yes, yes, that is me.
I destroy every light inside of you,
I reach out to your deepest thoughts and dominate.
I dominate your mind.
Fill it with my imperfect imperfections supported by the darkest sounds of tears and heartbeat.
The heart beats, it beats faster than the drums of an African sound.
Rejoice! Rejoice for my arrival for I am here to destroy, destruct and incapacitate happiness with joy.
I make them your enemies in exchange of being your associate.
For I am the epitome of cold and undesired feelings.
I’m a murderer.
I kill those expectations for better days.
I kill them!
I’m allergic to happiness,
I hate how good the sun can shine.
How it can shine bright,
Bright, and inspire dreams and hopes,
Hope makes me obnoxious.
I’m PAIN.
Yes, yes, I am.
I am a deep sense of emotion that kills you inside.
It kills you inside and turns you into a breathing corpse,
Because it sucks the life out of you.
It makes you wonder,
Wonder how deep things could really get.
I’m a wrecking ball of bliss.
I am PAIN!
