Pain is Pleasure

By Saqib Shiekh

Don't rob me from my pain,

It's the only thing I can attain,

Don't give me hope,

It feels bad after a drop.

Solitude feels like treasure,

And gives a lot of pleasure,

Ignoring its pit,

My mind accepts it.

Sadness feels like a companion,

Misunderstood by everyone,

Cuddling me like a lover,

Let us stay together.

Overthinking becomes escape,

In the ocean brain like a cape,

Where stress finds its shelter,

Thoughts that scream spectre.

Tears in eyes feels relieving,

I put away the burden by crying,

Then nod gently with a smile,

Trying to hide the inner vile.

Don't separate me from pain,

If you'd turn out in vain,

I will have to face it back,

And the courage I would lack.
