Is Pain My Destined Home?



Why am I letting myself sink as if I can't see everything around me?
Why is the ground just swallowing me up?
Did I choose this or I've fallen into another one of misery's traps?
Someone, please tell me why am I blind to myself?
I'm staring at the mirror and a stranger is staring back. 
I have a name but what's in a name?
Is it that I've forgotten who I truly am?
What's bringing about this amnesia?
Are these too many questions for a man slowly sinking?
Are they any answers for one who's lost in himself?
I'm knocking on my thoughts and I don't hear anybody home.
There's an emptiness that feels like a grave waiting for my soul.
How do I teach myself the art of understanding pain?
How is it that my wounds are now scars but they still hurt?
How is it that I think the world is horrible but I hate myself?
How is it that I don't know why I'm even asking these questions?
Maybe if I call pain a home I won't try to escape 
Maybe I need to give a voice to all my tortured thoughts 
Maybe I'll finally stop drowning while I stand on water
Maybe I'll stop slowly sinking into myself 
Maybe just maybe all these questions will stop.

  1. Pain has a lingering effect, in as much as anyone would want a quick remedy for it, the important lesson from pain is identifying the cause of pain.

    And trying not to trigger it again
