pain

pain comes in all forms-
the small twinge, a bit of
soreness, the random pain,
the normal pains we live with
everyday.

then there's the kind of pain you cant
ignore, a level of pain so great
that it blocks out everything else-
makes the rest of the world
fade away.

until all we can think about
is how much we hurt, how we
manage our pain is up to us.

pain, we anesthetize,
ride it out, embrace it,
ignore it. and for some of us,
the best way to manage the pain
is to just push through it.
