A Painful Ascendancy

You feel the pain surround you,
A sensation you understand,
You see the stars astound you,
A love held in your hand.
You feel the power find you,
An expression you adore,
You hold the trust inside you,
A shock you cannot ignore.
You pull on the chains tightly,
An attempt to break free,
You welcome this joy nightly,
A painful ascendancy.
