Pressure

What is pain
pressure on the nerve endings
when through the numbness you can't notice
that you´re crossing over unwritten norms
Too much pressure in the nerve canals
when the world slaps you in the face with an open hand
and pushes your head into a full sink
waiting patiently for your legs to give in

Wet hair on your eyes

What is agony
pain that has gone on for too long
from which the nervous system will never recover
It's ringing in the ears
seasonal affective disorder that goes on all year round
When time eats you alive with its tiny teeth
and you can't dodge, can't leave
and can't close your eyes

With tears on your cheeks

What is suffering
you can't remove it, it's in the air you breathe
when a squeeze in your chest stops you from breathing
It's a presence next to you
when others abandon you
When your limbs go necrotic from the cold
breaking odd piece by piece
and you're aware of every moment,
every moment

With bloody drops on your lips
