house of pain

living with chronic pain is the pits.

i have good days and bad days...today
is a bad day, pain wise.



the walls close in on every side,
i hear the daemon's bitter laugh,
my heartbeat quickens--not again,
it pokes & prods with sharpened staff,

i'd shatter these walls, if i could,
but i'm held fast by jagged claws!
there is no escape from its grip,
& i am crushed by massive paws,

it does not stop.  it does not end!
this creature seeks the death of me,
the blood bursts from behind my eyes,
i pass out from the agony,

words swirl in technicolor fonts,
painted in psychedelic shouts,
i write of the madness endured,
& once again, the room fades out--

welcome to the house of pain!

Can't imagine what you go through, Karla, on a daily basis. You are a brave soul, and this poem is tremendously good, eloquently expressing a tremendously bad situation. Hope things improve for you.

You take us there, Karla, with your exquisite portrayal. Excellent write. I am a skeptic but continue to hear good vibrations about accupuncture. Just a thought ...
Best regards,
