"rate your pain 1-10"
1.the constant ache
2.the numbness
3.the tears
4.the cuts
5.no sleep
6.no appetite
7.no words
8.speaking words that are not yours
9.walking in a strangers shoes
10.Opening that mouth of the stranger and smiling and saying I am fine  
I hear this at the doctors
wishing to be swallowed up into the floor with just a single blink
wishing I could tell them
But it is not me in the room its the stranger
