Painfully Inspired

~PAINFUL~

this pain..
nothing like it
insane 
as it may seem
it feels like 
my veins
are being ripped
through the layers
of my skin
one
by
mutha
fuckin'
ONE

I knew love hurt
but not like this
this pain is in
the very cavity of
my soul
so intense it
hurts
to THINK
I just want to 
be numb
love could never
hurt like 
this

no, this......

this is like....

getting your skull
sucked out of 
your face through
your ear
this is like that
skin that peels
upward near your
cuticles
and you think if
you rip it off
chew it off 
with your teeth
it won't hurt
so bad and
it won't keep gettin' 
caught on shit
but the
SHIT JUST
HURTS MORE
love hurts bad
but like this?

never

Stop telling me
it will be ok
stop telling me
the pain will go away
stop telling me
Wisdom comes with pain

AND JUST PULL MY MUTHAFUCKIN' TOOTH OUT!!!

 

**Thank GOD for dentists!! As you can see, the inspiration to write can truly come from ANY place. Pain, love, arousal, ANY emotion. This has always been the advice given to me, so I will pass it along to you: WRITE WRITE WRITE! And when you're done, write some more! You'd be amazed at what your creativity can produce if you just let it flow freely.

And now, I can eat all the Christmas food and junk I want, since that tooth is GONE! All of you have a very happy healthy holiday. Look out for Sunpiper next year. It's TAKEOVER TIME!!!
