I like the feeling of stabbing a needle into a pin cushion.

I like the satisfying feel of a sharp, piercing object penetrating through a substance of pure softness.

It feels so good.

It feels so relaxing. 

You should try it.

I am a pincushion. 

A cushion used for conveniently pinning a seamstress' needles into so to not lose them in the future. 

I am a pincushion.

Easily stabbed.

Easily penetrated. 

Easily bought. 

Easily used.

Every time a seamstress pins and stabs one of her needles into a pin cushion, another burden I must carry for another individual to live a more convenient life. 

Since I am a pincushion, of course.

And every time a seamstress stabs one of her needles into a pin cushion and creates a hole in it, another wound and scar is formed that was created from the burdens I must carry to make others happy. 






I am a pincushion. 

A pincushion with a thousand different needles stab into me like swords piercing through every vulnerability I lay bare for all to see. 

I am a pincushion. 

A source for others to tell their problems and relay their burdens onto me so that they can no longer feel the weight of it. 

I am a pincushion. 

Pin your problems on me.

So, I can be the only one to feel its pain.
