This pain

This pain is a new pain. A constant, gnawing, clawing pain.
It’s an unremitting pain, a “can’t get away from it” pain.
It’s a can’t walk, can’t stand, can’t sit or rest pain.
It’s indescribable and overwhelming, an “I can’t take anymore” pain.
It’s a breath stealing, teeth gritting, tears flowing pain,
and it’s exacting in it’s brutality and unforgiving in it’s relentlessness.
But more than that, it’s just bloody exhausting.
It’s wearing, soul destroying, and all consuming
and unfortunately, it is the reality of my life.
