The Time I Sprained My Knee

The time I sprained my knee

God that actually destroyed me.

No sprinting

No running

No jumping

No walking

Just rest.

Peace

Serenity.


A time where the water was forced to be dry

Quelled by the gods of time

But I couldn't handle it

I needed it to be a wave,

A rush of unending pain

That choked me and kept me on edge.


"You need rest, Annabelle."


No. Not today.

Absolutely not today.

The winds are raging high

Whispering nasty thoughts into my mind

Pushing and pulling for something to uproot

As if they haven't done enough.


"You've already had enough."

"You don't deserve it."

"Gluttonous huh, can't get enough."


But the water was still.

Unaffected by the wind.

It physically could not move.

No matter how much pain I was in.

"No moving for a few days."

No. Impossible.

The winds were pushing me to go,

So why wouldn't the water just fucking move?

I was weak. I am weak.

A wind that blew women past insanity

Couldn't push past one rain drop of the two hundred and six


The time I sprained my knee

God that actually destroyed me.

I had to sit still.

And simply take it.
