The Hurt Within

The Hurt Within


I hurt
I hurt all over
My whole body aches
As if I had spent hours
In the hot sun 
But it isn’t exertion
That causes this pain
It’s an emptiness
The lethargy of long days
With nothing to do
The rain falling again
Locked inside
Muscles tense 
For no purpose 
The ache increases
I need to get out
To stop
The hurt within
