Pain scrapes
at my nerves
leaves me in tatters
feeling sore,
disassociated,
so weird.

Screaming inside
yet thankfully alive
trying to hide the pain
from my loved ones
and the medics.
I really wanna get out of here.

Gritting my teeth
no analgesic relief
on and on
even till the Finnegans wake
and I can sleep.
