Pain. Burning, hot, searing. Invading like a species from two countries away, determined to bring its roots down into the soil of my muscles and live off of my anguish as if it's a parasite. The kind of invasive species that is only discovered once it’s spread to the ends of the earth, and all that’s left to do is learn to live with it, letting it continue its rampage on the native life and create ruin among the wilderness that depends on it.
Its determination to live, to stay, in a place so foreign has you in awe for a while until it begins to disrupt everything- your work, your interactions, even your relaxation. Even when you believe it's done needing to control everything else, there's always something, anything that needs to be taken from you and placed in its stomach to help ease its boundless hunger.
