Pain
and Panic
I
awake
everyday,
to a
body
that
can’t even
fall
off the
wrong
side
of
the bed
and
a mind
and
a heart
sprinting
a
one
hundred
yard
dash in
a
race with
no
victor.
The
Agony All Around Me
Everything
hurts.
Nervous
nerves.
Migraine
headaches.
Broken
bones.
Hollowed
marrow.
Slithering
spine.
Peeled
skin.
Soulless
heels.
Collapsible
veins.
Disjointed
joints.
Tender
tendonitis.
Arthritic
limbs.
Unbandaged
appendages.
Shriveled
liver.
Harvested
kidneys.
Volcanic
stomach.
Disheartened
heart.
Phantom
pains.
And
that’s just
what
hurts
on
the inside.
One
Inch
My
unfocused
pointer
finger
and
my
devolved
thumb
are
only
one
inch apart
and
closing,
to
signify just
how
close
I am
to the
lemmings’
edge.
