There’s a itch that, no matter how much I scratch it
Or try distracting myself
It’s there like omnipresent-won’t go away-just-you-try
And no matter how many steps (quick footstep watch the ground)
It won’t
won’t
A splinter I can’t find so I start digging away at my skin/flesh
It’s there I swear it is
I can feel it, experience it, it absorbs me
But I can’t
see
it
So it’s back to
step, foot, foot, step [footstep]
over and over, just to distract
just so something else in my head is there
otherwise I’d just feel
the tick-tick of inveitability
of this stupid pain
sensation
overwhelem
And you know it’s so frustrating
because if I could just find it, see it, touch it, locate it
I’d rip it out and discard it
throw it a million billion infinite miles away into the sky
into space
where it would shatter, disperse into the void
never to
be
seen
again.
