What Is Pain?

silence is boring

peace is a bore

quiet is strange

I want something more

I turn on pain sensors

to experience the world

in its entirety

stepping on a sharp twig

a small mosquito bite

tripping up the staircase

accidentally biting my tongue

pain is terrible

pain is cruel

pain is undesirable

prying open my chest

tearing out my heart

performing experiments

stitching it back up

pain is sad

pain is anguish

pain is anger

pain is human.
