My Injury
May 10, 2019
My knees hurt
Its hurt for a long time
Every step I take breaks me down more and more
I went to therapy the other day
It didn’t seem to do anything but make the pain worse
It seems I am barely holding on
My knees
Are all that’s keeping me up
Its consumed my life
Its barely preventing me
from falling down
And breaking
And snapping
It would be bad if my knees broke down
Everybody would be distressed
That someone that seemed like he was holding up fine
Would break down like that
Some people say that running is life
If that’s true, then stopping is death
