I wonder, if pain was a person, what adjectives would qualify for its personification.
The physical appearance is of a human figure, rather than moveable limbs with saddle joints or ball & socket joints, it is more than any elastic that would stretch in a never ending way. It is dark with no eyes. I don’t see any clothing on the darkest body that I have ever know; even light fails to pass through. It crawls creepily through the mind and deeply set its roots like an octopus.
It is mayhem. A chaos inside all the parts of the body, even the tiniest of the atoms; produces ripples enough to creat a tsunami in the the over all complex of a person. However, no another person feels what it is. As a mark of understanding one may emphtaise but never can understand the pain.
The mechanism of pain is similar to a churning butter. It churns and churns an individual untill it twirls the inner core leaving nothing to drain out. Still, pain ventures in, squeezes the person like a cloth hung upon a string for drying.
Pain is fear, fear that engulfs the rational part of a person. Pain is egoistic, it’s self respect is damaged when one does not grief. It resides in the superego and exhibits in grief.
Pain is an inexhaustible flame that devours without killing the being, so that degrees of burns is felt, burns the being once again so that healing does occur in the wounds. The physical of a being responds to the trauma that pain inflicts upon. It drains up tears, it gradually converts a lively being into a lifeless thing: dead, stare ghastly, spread angled limbs, bloody.
Pain is loss, it is screaming at nothingness at the same time it is silent, silence witnessed before a gushing wind that sweeps away everything. Pain is aiming pointlessly at an unseen point, into the infinity. Pain is deaf to all kind of frequencies in the universe, infact immune to any vibrations. Pain is grand and its grandeur multiplies in memories.
Pain is a relief to the heap of emotions that looks for a vent. Pain ends when one is determined to ‘let go’.
Pain is excruciatingly painful!
