I often wonder why it is I always have these
tension head. aches.
the pain seems to start in my heart and seep deep
up to my head
my neck
my shoulders.
sometimes the pain of a headache like this is
comforting.
like a hard run, a cut on my wrist, a good puke,
or a tattoo.

(maybe a should get that new tattoo?)

pain and pleasure are supposed to be opposites right?
why is it, then, that i somehow feel a strange relief when my body's pain (for the moment) matches the pain i feel inside?
