Strained Strength


Strength seeping out of every pore
Pain creeping in through every core
Eyes weeping for each aching sore 

What's ailing me in this night hour?
Strength failing me, got no power
Tears trailing behind this dream dour

Eyes raining out their misery 
Limbs paining in some mystery 
Strength straining in troubled worry

I'm going to assume(hopefully so) that you're not in pain, physical or otherwise, Jo.

A lot of pain in this one... I hope it is just for the contest and not real life pain..
