POETRY; 'Shake off This Pain'

'Shake of This Pain'

I can't shake off this pain...
Quaking legs and aching arms.
Body throbbing and clenching are my arms.
Restless feet, I SO want to retreat.
I can't shake off this pain...
Exploding head, my mind SO alarmed...
No sleep for days.
My eyes keep turning since they are always now burning.
I can't shake off this pain..
No working treatments...
Such aching arms.
Stabbing is the pain all through my brain.
Such restless feet.
Why can't I retreat.
Eyes are turning since they are burning.
Why can't I shake off this pain.
