Pain

Did you ever feel pain makes you think you’re insane it’s like a corkscrew turning slowly at first a machine gun burst rata ta tat straight up the back Oh they say it’s a disc or some trapped nerve, every diagnostic word, but to me the pain gets worse. It wears you down, kills your soul You crawl within your shell saying ing hell, swig on a bottle of booze trying to forget, but the pain is like a leach it sucks away your will Oh time for a pill You shout and curse Thinking of younger days, brain was smart switched on, Now the machine gun rage, this pain is insane. Can one ever be the same? I truly don’t know. Here come is the doctor with his question the same. How are you today, Luke ? I just mutter in pain
