Masochists
Are we all
To some degree.
And pain is
Half-invited.
For it
Individuates
Us
From the norm
In the form
Of a cavern
Where we can
Toy with our
Reclusivity,
The exclusivity
Of our cries.
How we've been
Lied to.
How we've been
Abused.
How we've confided
In ruses
Disguised as lovers.
Misguided are those
Entertaining the notion
Of releasing
The torturous emotions
In favor of
Growth;
Everyone knows
Scabbing wounds
Are harder to scratch.
