I like the pain
A part of me enjoys it
I let it flood through me and consume me
Is that sick?
It feels sick
It feels like it should feel sick
I WISH it felt sick
But,
It feels good
I embrace it, let it carry me away
I voluntarily drown in it
I wallow in the pity
Happily

The author's comments:
I really wanted to put this anonymously but I thought it was necessary for you to know who wrote it. I always feel better when a heavy poem says the writers name. It makes me feel like there's a real person out there, going through something as hard as I am. Enjoy.
