the desire to scream is overwhelming
the energy courses through me,
like dirty water of melted winter that flows down the gutter
the scream, black with the problems of everyday,
and this day,
and yesterday,
and tomorrow
and there is no relief, no respite
so i slather cortizone on the bite marks of my experiences
and hope it can stave off infection
Doesn't cortisone suppress the immune system and delay wound healing?
Though if that's what you meant, it's like a metaphorical way of saying what you did added to your suffering....that makes it so much more beautiful!
Cortisone does have the side affect of delayed wound healing - But, it is mostly used for surface skin issues-
And, in regards to what you pointed out, yes I intentionally "used" a medication that wouldn't really "heal" any wounds.
BTW - Thank you for the feedback :)
