AVOIDING THE PAIN by David Kwak

What we do to avoid the pain:
We look at ourselves as 3rd person’s twice removed
for which we are chemicaly altered and soothed.
With Alchohol and opiods,
Facing our issues we can avoid.
Stuffing our souls with Sex and porn
Flailing about our egos torn,
How can we start to heal, if our crutches stifle our ability to feel, In this moment, all we can face is what is allowed by grace All we need to do is accept it.
