I feel for all of you that have been fighting against pain so hard this week. I've been in my corner doing the same. So what's the score? Are we winning yet?
This is a bunch of words that came to mind the last two days.
It enters with a violent thrust
fist pounding down my walls
Tearing through nerve by nerve
it burrows through my brain.
"You call this pain"?
I sneer in contempt. I'm still standing.
It pulls out it's silver bit
and starts the drill on low.
Through my skull it plunges deep
reaching past ear and nose.
"You call this torture"?
You piece of shit! I curse between clenched teeth.
I'm still kneeling.
On high it turns it's drilling speed
mining for my death.
Reaching it's exhaustion,
it pulls out and waits to rest.
"You call this hell"?
I cry out loud, I give in and agree.
I'm the one still breathing.
I claim victory!
