You wake up and the pain is unbearable from wounds of the past.
Looking for some relief or you fear you won’t last.
The pain festering under white scar tissue, a decision needs to be made to fix the issue.
You reach for the needle for even a brief relief, circling around the weak spot until you find the nerve to go deep.
The warm fluid pours out like tears from the soul, easing the pain but for what gain?
