Pain

I sat motionless

in the final moments of the summer sun’s glow

and watched

one tiny person after another

paddle,

stand,

glide along a wave

paddle,

stand,

glide along a wave,

paddle,

stand,

glide along a wave.


I never felt more alone.


I never felt more disconnected.

I thought how silly and pointless

it all seemed.


My board lifeless and

dry

beside me on the sand.

I thought of all those times I had fought

and screamed

and refused that tube

down my nose and into my stomach

and I thought about how

right now,

given the option

I may just take it.

With my whole heart I hope you found this poem useful and inspiring.

Become Great. Live Great.

Bonnie.
