Today my knee popped again.
For the fifteenth time since it's began.
Skinned palms from breaking my fall.
Again, the hot blade of searing pain.
I hate how these are things I can perfectly recall.
I've sworn myself not to cry;
instead, my body goes into shock.
Screaming as if I were to die.
Catching my breath, the agony is finally over.
I used to be helped up from the ground.
But now, I get the cold shoulder.
In Phy Ed. class, they whispered that it was for attention.
I found that funny, considering I hate that.
And the brace, I would never mention.
