Im not sure how to spell it. Ive been away. missed alot of poems, none the less, im back. And I hope you enjoy.wrote while recovedring...so its crap

SCALPLE

As the needle pierces
my skin I lose the
feeling in my body
the scalple slices open
the flesh of below
my rib cage the blood
oozes as deft fingers
pry the incision open
I feel pressure
no pain
Eyes wide open
the couldn't put me under
without the fear
of me dying
tears of shock cloud
my vision
they tell me not to look
I'm drawn in as if it
was a magnet
no more, I want to get up
"were almost done, darling"
I can't speak my tongue
feels as it was swollen
and cotton
blood runs out of my body
"She needs more blood"
I'm dying, stupid quacks
your suppose to be saveing
me is all I can think
eyelids close against
the piercing light

As I wake up the lights
shine in my eyes as if
they were virgin
my hands trail to the
bandage and my face
contorts in pain
"You got to be freaking
joking, I'm actually
alive?!"

Regina
can think

If you only understood my pain then maybe you could learn to be my friend. Be there. My crying shoulder. The smiles. And the caring i need to survive.

Wow, was this how it felt to be in surgery? Are you ok regi? Do tell me...ok?
I enjoyed this poem, although it kind of freaked me out thinking that you went through this.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Oh WOW!!! This is sooo great, Regina! The imagery was really good. SO good that I got this really horrid taste in my mouth when you were talking about the needles (EJ hates needles with a passion).

Very well done.

Just because I hear voices doesn't mean I'm crazy...SHUT UP IN THERE!!!

Welcome back.  This was a great poem to announce your return.  You did a wonderful job here, but I really hope that you are OK now.

No it wasnt any wisdom teeth. It was hard core surgery in my adomen/intercostal muscles.

Wow,Ina I hope you are feeling better. I can understand how crazy surgery is, I've been there. Not life threatening, but not a walk in the park either. I am glad to see the "quacks" didn't mess U up (too bad)  
Glad to see you back.
