agitation comes as intense vibrations
general excitation and resulting dis-ease

hard to look on the bright side from shadows
still dawning awareness casts glaring light

stark relief no relief at all the truth is relentless that way
the too brilliant blinding clarity some of us have to feel the burn

for a lesson learned the hard way
not facing up to pain prolongs suffering

the fire burns hot sears succinctly cauterizes cleanly
painfully purified peace at last

       until the next time I injure myself
       stub my toe hit my head break my back slice open my guts
