This body's scoreboard is broken

A wire has come loose Connection faulty Body fraught, skin hot Electricity misfires Muscles spasm Energy bubbling In my scapula Mouth corner slipping Arm numb Palm sparking Twisting and stretching Satellite sobbing Deep breathing No relief No change Constant dissonance Disturbance Distance Between realities Skin deep and surface No mental switch flip I'm present, with it And utterly frustrated Body in disarray Thoughts gathered neatly It makes no sense This physical betrayal And the disconnect Exhausting Unrelenting On edge Over it all Invisible lights blinking Guiding path To misery and beyond
