“Behind the Veil of Pain: A Poet’s Journey Through Knee Surgery and Big Pharma’s Shadows”
Have you ever taken a moment to ponder what it truly means to take a break? I mean, in our chaotic lives filled with deadlines and social obligations, there’s something almost ironic about needing to step back for what we call “self-care”—especially when it involves surgery. This poem captures that paradox beautifully. It paints a vivid picture of someone seeking solace in the midst of discomfort, armed with codeine and antihistamines, while isolating from the world. It’s a heartfelt reflection that touches on themes of pain, healing, and the dubious nature of recovery as vacation. Join me as we explore the layers of this experience that intertwine the mundane with the poetic… and who knows, you might just find some merits in those moments of stillness too. LEARN MORE.
Took a time out to repair some damage
40 pills of beautiful codeine
Then the itching started
Antihistamine pills to take the creepy crawlers away
A week off from work
Isolating from the annoying masses
Wouldn’t call surgery a vacation
There are merits though…
