Sitting on the train
smelling the rain
seeing the pain
on the faces in the train
burning my brain
Hearing the sound
of wheels going round
lost I am found
free I am bound
in monotonous sound

I live with chronic low-grade pain (which I almost spelled "pane.") What color would it be? Muted red, perhaps. On a good day, light pink. Like my mental illness, I'm used to it. Unlike my mental illness, there is never a question that I would get rid of the pain if I were able. The mental illness has affected the way I think, and I have had it all my life. I sometimes think if it were taken away, I might not know how to deal with the world as a "normal" person. Just like some people who have been blind all their lives have trouble navigating the world if by some miracle their sight is restored. I am blind to what it is to be "normal."
Rose, I think you're right that pain is a muted red. That's how it seems to me too. I've lived with chronic pain for a long time, and yes, I think I would get rid of it if I could. But I know there are aspects of the pain that I would miss. For one thing, people would have less reason to feel sorry for me! Thanks for your commnet. Cheers, MM.
Don't forget there is but a very thin line between pleasure & pain..

Hi Lunar Lover, Kimberley, yes that's absolutely right. Sometimes the two overlap, or are even exchanged for each other. And then there's a quote from somewhere (can't remember where or who -- maybe it was me?!) that I'm fond of : "Pain hurts, but suffering is a choice". Thanks for you comment, Cheers, MM
