Had Anyone Seen

My feet gave way without my consent
I found myself lying on the kitchen floor
Close to the dog bowl

I had gone down suddenly
Did not realize until I felt mucus in my hands
So this is what pain feels like 

My head flew up
Pride willed me 
I looked around 
Wondering who had seen

Jumped up quickly
Pride ruling 
Again

It's funny how that kind of pride seems so important (when it should be much lower on the list of immediate priorities...). Well penned, my friend!

I truly have had some weird days lately. I am medicated and medicated and medicated for pain and it is crazy to issue ANY medicine to me at all. I react to it way too severely.
