Sometimes I wake up while awake, 
     to a pain in my stomach. 

— Something I ate, or hopelessness & despair.


Sometimes I reach and stop,
     from a soreness in my arm.

— Something I tore, or frustration & anger.


Sometimes I step, 
     then stumble.

— Something I twisted, or ego & guilt.


Sometimes I breathe,
     and cannot.

— Something is tight, or sad & betrayed.
