Passage to Desensitization
The urge to be in control,
The fear to be in submission:
Subjecting your own self to harm;
Knowingly, approvingly, directing self to pain:
For it is this feeling -
A feeling emerging after an age,
Approvingly, knowingly, you desire to feel
How it feels to feel,
And then it builds:
The burden, too heavy now
To bear
You surrender -
Knowingly, approvingly, surrender to their urge,
The pain doesn't cessate,
Nay, it amplifies with every surrender -
Approvingly, knowingly, you cease to be!
