Pain, oh pain, how you take control
You grip my heart and never let go
A weight on my chest, a tightening hold
Tears fall fast, as the story is told
A stabbing ache, in my very core
A throbbing pulse, I can't ignore
Every breath, an effort to bear
This torment, more than I can bear
Difficult to hide when it starts to show
An unwelcome guest, a cruel reminder
That life is fragile, a narrow binder
So pain, you try to bring me low
But I will stand, and face you
For with every throb, I will grow stronger
And emerge, an even mightier warrior.
