Torticollis Torture

            This pain cripples me.

                         It works its way through
           me quickly,          
                               like lightening bolts
 spiking throughout my  
                         entire body.

 

 

It keeps digging...

 

deeper...
 

into

my bones and

muscles.

I can  feel them

knotting and

twisting and

tightening, the

sensations are...

nauseating.

 

 

The stabbing
is just as
bad. It feels
as if someone  is ramming

a knife right under
my shoulder blade,
pointing up
underneath it,
stretching up,
Poking it's
Way through.
Whilst bolts
Of seering
Pain plow
Through
My entire
Body
Until
I can
Move
No

Thank you. I wrote it in paragraphs at first, was an old memo to show doctors about how it feels (description)
I thought I would pay arpund with it to see if I could put it into a lot visual and poetic way ?

It's the most painful thing I ever have had to regularly go through. Hopefully one day I'll be free of it haha

Twisted neck
Latin 'torticollis'

I saw the dagger
I saw the blade
But could not feel
Your crippling pain

Poetizing the dagger
Poetizing the blade
I hope relieves
Some crippling pain
