Sonnet- Existence is the Pain No One Allows

Title:Existence is the Pain No One Allows
Author: Metamorphhh (aka J. Crawford)
type: Sonnet
Existence is the pain no one allows;
I see it in the faces that I meet.
Existence is the pain no one allows;
I hear it in the voices of the street.

Existence is the pain no one allows;
I track its scent along the beaten trail.
Existence is the pain no one allows;
I taste the blood of fools hung on its nail.

Existence is the pain no one allows;
I feel its pulsing measure underfoot.
Existence is the pain no one allows;
I fantasize my edge against its root.

But recognition jars me with a start!
Existence is the pain that is my heart.
