My Hidden Broken Leg

First Part: All I see are my toes! A constant burning and stinging sensation under this weighted plaster cast has got me bedridden. The cast is made out of plaster and is white in color that is stuffed with gauze layered tightly with a bandage. This cast covers the severe damage from a fall a week ago that snapped my ankle bone into two like a bitter cold cucumber. I’m staring at this soft but firm cast that is unmoved and unshaken because I’m lying perfectly still waiting for it to heal. The gauze slowly is unraveling from the inside of the cast. And my toes! Second Part: Leg Live Life to the Fullest! Only three living toes peek out From beneath the plaster my leg screams to be let out! “Let me go!” wails my injured leg. Sweat slithers out; whilst my leg struggles to stay afoot. Waken thee leg and don’t succumb Don’t be downtrodden, deaf, and dumb And leg keep dancing to a new tune And keep blessing yourself underneath the midnight moon!
