Arms that are throbbing
Stabbing to the fingertips
Sensations coursing through
Overwhelming the muddled mind…
Thoughts escaping
Racing to distant places
Thick and fuzzy
As if with a heavy veil…
The pain is everywhere
It travels under the skin
It is manifest in every cell
There is no escape…
Numbness and burning
Lightheaded and unsure on foot
Each sound penetrates like a knife
The brightness of the light is piercing…
From deep within lies strength
A power gifted from above
To endure and to stand tall
To remain steadfast and unshaken…
The sensations coursing
Reeling with unsteady gait
My mind again lost
Coherent thought is not allowed…
Outward appearance shows nothing
The only hint a slight grimace
Hidden from view
As war is waged within…
