Life Begins With Pain

September 16, 2025

It is extremely painful -

Almost like a Lethal Injection -

Stiffening the veins -

Squeezing the temples -

This is the "juice" they speak of

When they tell you "GoJuicy"

Which they will

If you get this far -

It doesn't have to hurt so much -

Some people avoid this -

They are tuned in to the light -

For them it is only HeaveN

I have been to HeaveN

Rising from my bed

On a White Cloud -

But for me - it is -

I feel I owe them that -

The children in the pictures -

Who have been abducted

And forced to perform

They are in pain

And I must be as well

In order to feel the pleasure

The pictures also contain -

There is a line on one of the websites

Which reads: "Life is Pain from the first two or three seconds..."

I didn't agree with it when I first read it -

I thought there was pleasure all around -

But now I feel the pain

The pain of isolation -

The pain of coming apart -

The pain of open eyes -

The pain of being silenced by my own crime
