Pain

I am here. I have been with you always.
I am your companion, your buddy, your confidant.

You will pay attention to me.
You will choose your activities according to my whims.
You will tell yourself that you can conquer me but,
you can't.

Remember how you used to ignore me?
Remember how much difficulty I used to have
getting your attention?

We will be much closer now.
