Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Lost In a Capsized Body

Feeling a bit itchy.
Stop that! I shriek to my body.
We are over that!

Tender there.
Shush! I hush the yelling voice.
We are done with that also.

Teeth and gums hurt.
SHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I am walking upright.
Congratulate myself on that.

Having to be human 
even when nothing else feels 
human any longer, lost in  a capsized body
mind that used to belong to me.

Rhona Mcferran October 23, 2019 at 7:03 PM You are amazing, Soul Sister. How you can write like this even in the state you've been in.... as Maureen said, you nailed it!! *clapping* Caren Krutsinger October 25, 2019 at 5:32 AM I am refraining from posting my new “haha” poems which make no sense to even me. I am not a person who should ever be on drugs.

M. L. Kiser October 20, 2019 at 12:13 PM That sum's it all up well. Hope you get to feeling better soon. Caren Krutsinger October 21, 2019 at 12:43 AM I truly am feeling better today. One day at a time. One whole day.

Ann Foster October 17, 2019 at 10:13 PM great... so true... lol... Ann Caren Krutsinger October 21, 2019 at 12:44 AM I am gingerly congratulating myself on weeding myself down on these pills.
