Pain
does not have
a single shape;
or form

It presents
in all manners

in ways
beyond
the imagination

Pain
does not
decrease
or temper mercy

in the face
of your wails
and screams

Pain
does not
pay respects
or salutations

It
does not care
whether
you are ready

to handle
what is
to come

Pain
does not die
or live

It is
the proof
of life

and
the epitome
of death
