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 have to say it is crazy but I am on auto-pilot right now.

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.
