Pain is Gain

Here it comes again,

The Pain,

An insane feeling,

Revealing,

What needs healing.

Nerves tingling,

Stinging,

A fire searing,

My entire body.

Signaling the beginning,

A journey continuing,

beyond seeing.

Fleeting sensations,

Opening this creation,

To the wounds hidden,

beneath human skin.

Exposing gaping holes,

Losing control,

Letting it all go.

The connections grow,

The opening closing,

Stitching back whole.

Hoping the stitches,

Will stop the glitches,

Connecting again.

My perception switches,

Learning it's lesson,

The pain is teaching,

All I AM to gain.
