Ache Poem by Kaitlyn Lancaster

Your body aches,
Your brain aches.
You try to stretch out the pain,
Gently pulling your arms above your head.
All this does is tug further at the aching muscles in your neck and chest,
In turn making your brain ache more.
Your arms slump to your side,
Not wanting to move,
Not wanting to experience the pain again.
Someone looks at your slumped body and you instantly sit up,
Not wanting to be judged or questioned.
You grimace as you realise just how much your body aches,
Just how much your brain aches.
