I remember when I could not speak
Walls in the mind and body weak
Dumb in words and ripe with rage
Bedraggled animal fresh out of the cage.
They joked and they laughed
Backs and arms loose and free
Not bunched up in knots --
Could they see it in me?
The fright that poured lymph into every gland
causing the senses to hone and expand
Migraine fission in my head
day after day -- was I alive, or dead?
