Overridden

 Don't ask

For consent

Stay on task

Do what's meant.

Tick the boxes 

Take my safety

Force me to transfer

Then leave me in agony.

Is it that important

To do everything you came for?

Does my pain matter at all

Anymore?

Now I spend all day

Recovering stamina

Pushed beyond

My limits first.

Can I ride out muscles

Tensing

When everything hurts?

Don't tell me PTs

Aren't damaging

When I know

They are.

When I know them

Deeply

And I know many

Bear their scars.

Finding Myself

 Stuck in place

Pseudomomonas daze

I try to write in a world 

That's ever-changing.

Try to find my voice again

In this place that makes

Me voiceless.

Can I come back

From this black

Hole of nothing

To hope for something?

So let me find myself

Learn myself

Understand that this is a

New self.

Just as good

And worthy

As the old.
