“Ode to Pain . They came, As Many, Legion. Driven. Unstoppable. Fangs dripping, Claws extended, Ripping, Biting, Cutting, Wounds, Endless. I loath them, Yet Love them all. I need them. They define me. Walk if off. Big boys don't cry. Suck it up. I need my pain. Exquisite, And Grotesque. Without it, I can never bask, In my love, And my Joy. So I say to the World.... Bring it the f**k on... My pain, Will only make me stronger, More, Me.”
