This pain
is so freeing.
This ache
is very much relaxing.
Let this flame
keep burning,
this fire
never die.
The pain pushes me.
The ache shows I am alive
The fire,
oh the fire
it keeps me from looking back
from slowing down
because if I stop
the warming fire may die out
cool my heart until it is ice.
So let the pain hurt
the ache be uncomfortable
and the fire burn on.
