My neck was going into a spasms;
standing up
from my chair,
looking left,
or right,
it didn’t matter what I did,
the spasms were blindingly painful.

I still
had to move
around
and do my every day things,
so life sucked.

When my neck would spasm
I would feel
the muscles
tightening
until my head felt like it would explode.

In the beginning I would fight it
and get pissed,
tears streamed down my face,
but after I cried
and my neck spasmed some more,
I realized that I had to ride this neck pain out.

I stopped
wanting to feel better
and told myself
to find the joy
where I was at.

Then I finally relaxed,
stopped taking my pain pills
and listened to my body.

My body told me
to relax and breathe slowly.

The next day
was
a little better.

The third day
I finally
felt like smiling again.

The neck pain passed
like all
neck pains do.
