Elucidating Questions

Something to bring a smile to my face

Despite the pain

Despite it

I feel like I’m being cut in half by pain

It’s cruel

My body doing this to me

Sure, it’s only an hour lost, but it’s not like I stop being in pain just because I left work

The ache

The way my back clicks with every move

If this is how you feel

I’m doing the exact opposite

How much noise can I make?

I want to go somewhere and just scream from the pain

I remember me as a kid, falling and scraping my knee

And how much that hurt

And my parents telling me not to cry

Sometimes or they’d give me something to cry about

It’s not that bad

That poor kid didn’t have any idea what lay in wait

Agony

I feel like pain personified yet again

If pain proves I’m alive

Am I the most alive person?

Expired opiates didn’t help

If only my doctor would give me something

They never believe how bad the pain is

Around in circles

I wish for so many things

Life goals

It all has to be done through pain

Through agony

This thick sheet of pain

Obscuring my vision

Making it hard to hear

My anxiety is higher

Could answer for some of it

Oh sweet relief

Eludes me

I don’t remember what it feels like to not be in pain

Currently I’m on fire in my chest

My hips ache

My back aches

I don’t have the energy to interact with others right now

Please ease off

Please
