[Writingworkshop] And?

[Adam Holland]

my pain pours out
of me drop
by drop
Falling, it stains.
Rising, it rains
Down.
Enhances
the soil in which
I grow.
Latent power, it fills.
Permeates
my roots, my foundations, my reasons
Fills me.
Imbues with.
Trace elements of agony
subtle algetic flavors
Penetrate
my being.
Tested, I grow.
Stronger
and
with strength, I seek.
Strive
Challenge
Travail
Tests
Acts of will.
Recursive, building, emergent, returning
Self-defining.
I  choose.
Pain.
