It settles in my skin 
refusing to leave 
Not wanting to hurt
but it hurts so deep
its sharply edged wooden point placed inside of me
I'm suddenly apprehensive,
Not wanting to scream

....I want to scream....

 
scream so loud but I'm silenced 
By my agony
My lips are tied and zipped 
I try to untie and unzip
Its agenda to destroy me is so formidable,
that it only neglects me with no other sensation
But serenity.
