Pain Is a Master

Crawling and moaning in the sharp blade of grass

All my life starting over, blood spilled inside out

I went through this cycle of pain deep in myself

Destroyed by awful hands, a demon of illusion

The pain now awaken, I'm cracking wide open

Can barely recognize my body, a battlefield

Unquestioned pride once so fragile

I cannot even recall names or faces

Those standing on my side

Those standing on my side, always

My side

I am nothing, the pain awake is forging me

Face down, inert

Forcing me, dreams haunting me

I am immense, I am awake, renewed

Lost in the darkest time

I know I felt their presence

Even if I was blind, face down

I was blind

Pain, please, forgive my ignorance

My master
