If I Couldn’t Feel Pain for a Week

If I couldn't feel pain for a week, I'd be like a balloon cut loose from its ties. I'd soar away with nothing holding me back, nothing keeping me grounded.

If I couldn't feel pain for a week, my dark side wouldn't exist. I'd be happy as a lark, smiling all the time.

If I couldn't feel pain for a week, I wouldn't feel the effect of people's harsh words. I wouldn't feel the let-down when some people don't say anything at all.

If I couldn't feel pain for a week, watch out world, here I come. I'd do anything I've ever wanted to do, without fear of possible pain.

If I couldn't feel pain for a week, I wouldn't feel pain for a week. And that would be new and exciting. But after a week, would I want to continue life that way? Doesn't pain add to life, as another whole level of emotion and feeling?
