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
