My forearms tingles,

It runs along my bone,

It started out small,

But now it has grown.

Every time I move,

I want to moan,

It burns like a fire,

Pierces like stone.

But the part that hurts most:

It's of my will alone,

I wouldn't have done this

If only I'd known.

;

The slightest movements

Have one purpose to serve:

To remind me that

I've damaged my nerve.

I should've known better

Than to let my wrist curve,

But it's hard to imagine

This is what I deserve.

For a while I can't work,

I'll only observe,

In hopes that my tendons

I can conserve.


In agony I live

Until I heal,

Only long rests

Will seal the deal.

Sometimes I wish

I could conceal,

But I couldn't function

The way I feel.

I wish that everything

Was simply unreal,

I can't wait till I'm over

This horrible ordeal.
