Spinal.
They break it so many times
and finally it goes,

everyone knows to watch their backs
but you never expect those full on
attacks when the pain rains in

it is
after all
of little consequence
you've been used to their nonsense
and shenanigans
so when it goes once again
you're almost ready for it,

I should have taken the medications
however, sedation is not for me
I'll suffer
not gladly though and I'll get over it
or go under with it and it's okay
either way
I can sink and swim.
