I have seen the worse
and also the worst
I have experienced pain
and also sorrow-pain

I have seen strange things
and also the strangest
I have experienced untold pain
and also pain upon pain

I have seen dangers
and also the dangerous
I have experienced far-fetched pain
and also pain that breaks my spirit

I have seen pain!
I have known pain!
I have witnessed pain!
I have tasted pain!
I have felt pain!
