Pain

It hides in all of us 

Some more than others 

Pain 

For some, it's a monster

Lurking in a deep abyss

It's malicious smile 

Grinning in the dark 

Pain 

Arthritis riddles my body 

Making it almost impossible to live everyday happily 

Though I try my hardest 

Pain 

Though it hurts 

I wake up every day 

Though it hurts 

I fight through the aches 

Though it hurts 

Pain has shaped me into the person I am today 

And I wouldn't change it for the world
