Living with Pain

How life appears is not what it seems,

My body extinguishes my own dreams.

Persistently it continues to control me,

Locking and damaging for all to see.

My painful sensations remain unseen,

Unexplainable to describe what I mean.

The crippling alignment will not subside,

As my health decreases the more I stride.

My aching self is always under attack,

Disabling more with every whack.

As I tighten up my weak clenched fists,

The more the invisible sharp blade twists.

Penetrating deep inside my tired bones,

Gritted teeth catching my tired groans.

I’m a human pin-cushion always being used,

Or a defenceless lab rat internally bruised.

Grating noises that burn each loose joint,

Snap crackle and pop at any point.

Stumbling and weighted with red hot coals,

And rocks strapped underneath my soles.

Electrifying pulses absorb into my veins,

Like a lightening show full with pains.

Invading injuries re-occur all of the time,

It thrives on knocking me down in my prime.

Battling with no improvements that I’m seeing,

But I’m Accepting facts and facing truths of my being.
