I woke up to Body Pain
So sick in my heart.
“Body Pain, Body Pain,
Play an-other part!”
The yelling was fierce
In too many spheres.
Body Pain yelling
Caused all my tears.
I gathered myself.
My voice like a hammer.
“Fine,” I said, “fine,
Let the yelling be a clamor.
“Yell, all you pain points.
Yell and be feared.
Yell,
Yell,
And yell!
Until we are seared.”
The yelling continued
Into a powerful song.
As the Body Pain receded,
Became a great throng.
It wasn’t as bad
As it had been before.
Body Pain was a partner
I could learn to explore.
Next time she comes,
I’ll try to remember,
Let Body Pain shout
Like the noise of great thunder.
She’s fierce and she’s loud.
She can be a big pain.
But Body Pain yelling
Won’t drive me insane.
