there are times when i pinch myself
just to see if my fingers still have their
old strength.
it hurts, but growth often does.
on most winter nights my fingers
ache.
i am too young to have arthritis,
too young to have so many problems.
should i take a mathematical approach to it all?
no, i was never good at math
and besides
things are much to rigid.
where is the room for me
to curse my girlfriend
and hate my job?
where would my carefree actions fit inside
an equation.
my fingers ache.
the pain on my arm lessens with
each pinch.
maybe i'm not too young for
the unimaginable.
and i have a big imagination too.

Hm.. this is different than your other work, kind of like young_blood*lite*... the first few lines still really hit me though:

it hurts, but growth often does

And this one reminds me of one of my favorite songs ever: Jeff Buckley's "Lover, you Should've Come Over"... do you know it? If not, you might want to check it out. Anyway, great write, as usual

"and i'll sit and wonder of every love that could have been
if i'd only thought of something charming to say..."   -death cab
