bonjela for ulcer

feels like ages since it began
though it's only been a matter of days
no escaping for me;
there's nowhere and no way to run
spent all that time silently pleading
"let the feeling go away!"
but to no avail as it remains with me
haunting every hour, every day
from the moment i wake
till i fall asleep
threatening even to enter my dreams

the point has come
i won't go another day
feeling this cut
making things worse
i'm a coward to pain, so
one final move to end the hurt...
the inevitable hurt
(why couldn't i have understood earlier?)
but now i know, and now i've learnt
hopefully not ever again
will i be afraid to cut my losses early
