Broken

Oh, t’is only pain that lingers in the corridors where my mind traversed As now, my weakened and tired frame relinquishes its powers Allowing existence of the overbearing ache and the rule of its force I roll over within my standing grave and cry out, “No more! No more!” But, to deaf ears my voice travels, while the being of pain laughs Breaking the man that once stood high, proud and willful I am, no more

pain is a very ugly thing. i hate it. i try to make it leave without a pill, or a shot, or any of those things. sometimes it will and i breath very softly and i thank God for a minute of blessed awareness of the world without pain. this is a very nice write and it is packed with feeling and reality

So sad. I am with Rhoda, I pray this is poetry, and not really happening. If it is, you have my prayers, and love, Always, Christy
