My pain is my own.
Here by my own doing.
My pain is me.
Maybe it's to fill a void.
Maybe it's to fill a need.
Maybe the pain is meant to be.
Whatever.
Along the way,
the paths may twist,
be full of angst...
All I know is all I feel....
I will welcome the diversion,
from the pain that won't set me free.
