Pain, I know your face all to well. Forever shackled to my soul, I wish I could rid myself of you, perplexed as to why you are here, you torment me. You stain every thing in my life, the bitter aftertaste of every action I take.

Fear, my old friend. You are the thing that holds me back from who I wish I was, you are always there, my inhibitor from truly becoming what I want to be. Why must you always be at my back, in the corner of my eye.

Love, we meet again. You, you are the one, I find myself drawn to you, trapped in your web, a web of lies. If only I could numb myself of you, withdraw my mind from your grasp. You build me up, only to tear me down, my heart is broken.
