Pain my old friend

Here to visit me again

Know that it will never end.

I would try to transend

My consciousness’ domain

Know that I can depart

And I can out smart

My leaden body

A shell from my soul apart

So useless and unsteady

So up here hovering

Near the ceiling

My spirit looks down

At my face with a frown.

So tempting

To leave

but my family

still needs me

I must stay around

From my body I cannot bound

Let me one day

be pure consciousness and light.

When I can leave

my body behind

Oh pain here I come again.
