Pain is the Remedy



He cuts,
inflicting pain upon himself,
Red,
cascading,
down,
for once he is in control of the pain,
it,
hurts,
so,
good,
Pain is the remedy.
The bandage covers the wound,
but,
not,
the pain.
Unknowingly loved by so many.
He finds that,
Pain is the remedy,
Life is not,
a joke.
Pain is not the remedy.
Love is hiding,
from him,
Just,
out of reach,
He finds,
Pain is the Remedy.
