Restraint

the pain that paralysed me at once
made all sensation vanish
all motion stop
and imprisoned my soul

from a body that is half dead
no perception of the surround
won't feel the grass on the field
nor kick the soccer ball

numbed from the hurt
anesthetized from the pain
useless dead legs
now carried in a wheelchair

I need to feel something
anything is better than this nothing
worse than feeling pain
is not feeling at all
