Does a lobotomy hurt? I was under the impression the brain was incapable of feeling pain.

The last three lines are a god awful attempt at relational unity while totally protecting the idea of individuality in a relationship, and should be compared with the cheesy cringe factor of my signature quote being used as anything other than a statement of fact on the nature of individuality, culture, and the world at large.

It reads more like a monologue from a play rather than poetry.
I watched a documentary on lobotomy, I assumed that since many who got it couldn't open their eyes afterwards due to them being swollen and bruised that it must hurt.
