Here comes the pain

Something crawls under my skin

poking at the world within

I try to walk and get some water

my legs fail me, as I totter

Its the excruciating pain inside

which wants to burst open wide

It wants to be released

like some chained beast

It soon calms down, still painful, but calm

It stays there forever, sometimes active, but all there

Tranquility

In a state of tranquility

I lay there, with no thoughts

Pristine white light, 

thinking, are my troubles sought?

I still breathe fire 

with no despair

figuring out why do I feel

that no one cares

It was all over, that state of calm

with eyes wide open, no blinking

I wondered what it was

It was me, thinking
