ANYTHING BUT PAIN

 please be anything but pain


The voices chuckle when i say i'm hurting.


"you,'re not"


I insist i am, what else can this be?


"not pain"

"not pain"


this weariness claws at my insides as they go-


"anything but pain"


melancholy creeps in, takes over.

 

"you're still steady"

 "you're still steady"


this time i nod.
