Pain

That old familiar sting
That thing that brings me life
That thing that pushes me forward
That thing that brings me back
That thing that lifts my abyss
That thing that shares my toils
That thing that eats my soul
That thing that makes me cry
That thing that makes me weep
That thing that makes me feel alive
That thing that makes me beg for death
That thing that we all share in common
That thing that makes us all the same
