In the throes of pain, Nothing else matters more Than the irresistible allure Of good ol' sweet relief. "Make it go away; make it Stop and never start again" You scream in agony. Your words turn to gibberish As the universe fades away Surely would pay any price To loose the gripping hold Of pain, as neural connections Send signals to your brain: "The dam is almost burst". But soon as pain is gone Its memory starts to fade And its gravity dissipates What was a "live-or-die" Becomes a "we-survived" As people boast of victory Over the struggles they had Though never forgotten Yet never as forceful The only power it holds Is the fear of its return Which we easily relegate. Pain loses its potency Once it is gone away. Toyin Taiwo, Sep 2020
