Excruciating Poem by Richard Jarboe

Excruciating



What an undesirable word: excruciating.
It's an agonizing word.
It's defined as intensely painful to the extreme.
It makes you uncomfortable just thinking about it.

I don't know if you've ever had excruciating pain,
But I once did.
It's like your soul's trapped in shale under an avalanche
Locked up in a state of paralysis,

One thing about that paralysis,
Reduction can pinpoint imagination.
And with imagination you are not in paralysis,
And you can do more than walk,
You can fly.
