Summary:
....written while in rehab recovering from a broken femur

Pain

 

Pain ran down my leg

like it was speaking in tongues,

crazed English gibberish that

brought tears

and chaos.

The iron fisted chaos

that always wanted more,

and I was simply in the way.

 

I was caught in a downward spiral,

down,

down,

down into a chasm of sharp rocks

like teeth, ripping off my skin,

shredding me of my humanity.

 

How do you calm a mind

eaten by pain?

    1. Thank you for your comment and concern, Willow. I am healing, but it’s taking so damn long. It’s been over 3 months now and there is still a lot of pain in the leg and knee. I can hear them talking and laughing. Ice (the solid water type) has become a welcome friend.
      Thanks again Willow!!!

    2. Yikes! This past year I had a severe sprained ankle. It felt like it was on fire! It swelled up like an elephant foot.
      Went to the ER and did X-rays. Nothing broken thank god!
      I can’t imagine how much pain that was when it is actually broken bones.
      I’m sure you noticed by now I’m a huge baby when it comes to pain.

      I can totally relate to the pain speaking in tongues!

      Very well put Curt.
