.Pain.

 It sucks!

Now that honesty is out of the way... let's delve.

The feeling to grab and rip your heart out is an all-too-common emotion any can relate with. The sting that just won't go away and leave you be. That aching-burn that increases in intensity by the effort to reduce it to embers... the helplessness of any before this mindless oppressor!

Driving the most sensible of men to insanity, the strongest at heart to cry as babes, and even the heartless to find remorse ... this force hovers about as a grey cloud. All sense of feel for any other emotion type is completely lost, ability to think disappears as does a shadow, strength dwindles, reason fades, help seems like a sun that sets and never to rise again. The worst part though is, the harder you try to get rid of it... the worse it becomes and the more seemingly impossible to overcome it becomes.

Burning through like a hot iron forge, pain can cause the most unbearable ... well ... pain. It simply is inexpressible save through tears and sobs. It weakens, increasingly, the heart and mind of any who dares oppose it. It threatens the very existence of sanity, blows out reason, and pulls down harmony all in one breath. Torture is quite the understatement for this force of nature. Possibilities once dreamt off passionately and sought after vehemently become total and complete impossibilities lost to the wind! All efforts drowned! The clear skies turn grey as the surroundings fade into mist... any possible way out becomes an impossible one to be found.

The beauty of this world is the fact that there always is a way out of anything. It can be found only if you look hard enough. Hard enough to see past the fog-causing pain, hard enough to feel past the numbing effects of deep lacerating scars, hard enough to up and walk past unforgettable occurrences, hard enough to breathe under drowning forces, hard enough to see a ray of light in dampening darkness... hard enough to smile at the raging storm! Thus, any with a will as strong iron and indestructible as diamond who is willing and able to look hard enough past all will find peace in a seemingly unending war within oneself.

The mind can be a powerful tool or... one's worst enemy. Whatever a person envisions, focusing on it long enough will bring it to fruition. Pain is simply a state of mind. I am not denying it (the world knows how many times I've shed tears), I'm just saying you feel what you want to feel. If it is peace and joy you want, having that as your focus and working towards it, you will have it. Focusing on pain drowns out the very many possibilities of any desired peace.

Pain is nothing but a figment of one's imagination...
