Think

It is difficult to think straight

When you are chronically ill.

At least ill the way I am

Where just about everything hurts.

Your condition--

The pain you are felling--

Is all-consuming.

Sometimes it is all

You can think of.

Even when you try

To not think

There is little room

For thoughts about anything else.

But still you try

To think thoughts outside

What you are feeing

Even though it is

Who you’ve become:

A dull guy in pain.

In pain that is never dull.
