Karma

I think deserve this ache in my back

That sears down my leg

And stays me from rest

Its constant discomfort that the meds barely touch

Sequestering me inactive

Where I focus on the past

This is long overdue for all the things that I did

The tears that I’ve caused

Malady I’ve made

And it’s no mystery to me just what this is for

It’s a physical penance

For the damage I’ve done

I can put a fine point on it, as it turns out

Karma is a bitch after all

For what it’s worth I’m still sorry
