Pain
It drives a wedge between my eyes like a double edged sword, pulling me in motion like currents in the sea. I cannot escape the pull of its gravity, no more than I can my shadow. Im spinning Im tumbling Im orbiting into new dimensions. Like an object lost in space. I imagine what it is like to be free from the bondage of pain. Like splinters being plucked from swollen hands the pain becomes numb. Im in pain, from being free from pain Like Siamese twins separated by surgery I miss it like missing limbs, but it’s always present. Steve Champion, San Quentin death row

Very nice Adisa !! that's a trip because on my right for arm it say's Love and Pain. We all know love and pain, when I got this tattoo years ago, I was thinking about the Love and Pain that I have been through, Pain that I have caused on others because of my actions. Pain is something that everbody goes through in life, and many, many times in life. I was thinking about the pain that Jesus suffered when he died on the cross. That my friend was the ultimate love, and pain that Jesus suffered for the sins of the world. And today many still don't believe !! Leave a Reply. |
