staring at the ceiling through darkness and tears
face covered in tears
not the small trails of a few tear drops, waves of tears crashing on my cheeks
but still, laying here in my own bed in pain in the comfort if my own home,
is better than spending another night in the emergency room
trying to explain to a triage nurse what I've been going through for months, 
wait for a bed, be given pills
I have pills here 
they will take blood, maybe order a test
and send me home with no answer,
 no relief more than a pain pill
 & a bill from a doctor who I spoke to for all of four minutes.  
the pain subsides, I relax for a minute and get comfortable 
the pain returns, with it the frustration. 
the constant pain & discomfort is ruining what life I have left...
