Chronic Pain (Acrostic)
Coloring each sight I see
Hues look murky through it
Rosy cheeks, a ready smile, belie the truth
Outrageous as it seems to look and hide like that
Nothing you do can change the fact
In constant battle with your body, you try to
Cover your agonies with false, "normal" masks
Piercing, pinching, pointed, dripping fire,
Aching agony, breathtaking stabbing,
Indescribable sensations keep battering me
None will keep me from living my life again, eventually
