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
Thank you so much. Yes, it could apply to many illnesses but for me I speak of depression.
You are most welcome and with virtually all illnesses depression accompanies them.
Your poem "Hurt" revolves around the intense emotional pain that is difficult to articulate or confront. The speaker experiences a profound sense of suffering that affects their physical and emotional states, illustrating how pain can be all-consuming and isolating.
Yes!! You are able to capture the essence of poems so well. Thank you!
