Hurt

Katie B.

   

                    Hurt

 

The hurt I can’t touch

Shortens breaths

Widens gray-green eyes and forces

Bitter, stubby toes to curl

It is excruciating

It moves me and 

I bear it

It takes words away and

forces others

I wince and worry

The hurt I can't touch is too much

    The author's note clarifies the situation. In reading it first it fit so many emotional and a few physical disorders. Yet this poem is vivid in its description and telling. It fits well depression and very well written
