SKIN

I finally wake up from my slumber, feeling that knawing pain stabbing my stomach like always. Why did I wake in the night? Why should I feel pain at all? I have returned from the hospital a few days ago since they still can't figure out what is wrong with me. The agonising pain travels through every nerve and vien existing in my body. Without warning shots of pain drive up my arms and instantly make me cringe. It would make me dizzy and make me feel reel. Every hour and every minute the pain would shoot through my skin as if electric wire intertwined straight with my bones. I would grip my bed sheets with every power that i had left, screaming silent screams, and allowing the salty rain to fall causing the muscle in my chin to tremble. Allowing the tears to burst out like water from a dam, and letting my eyes to become rimed with redness and sores. I lay in bed all day hoping for this torture to leave. From time to time the discomfort would fade yet appear again within minutes. My skin looked and felt like a summers flower but now has faded into something so lifeless it couldn't in any way be classified human. My hair stuck with clumps of grease and tangles. I was beautiful, so talented and so creative yet my creativity got the best of me. The pain, the months in bed, and the change in appearance; you would expect it to be a dream or a typical fairytale but this I wish was true.
