Stress Fracture

A cycle of poems «Orthopedics»

In the depths of silence, a subtle crack
A hidden fissure, a stress fracture's track
It whispers its presence, a nagging pain
A warning of weakness, a silent refrain

Stress fracture, an unseen foe
Creeping through the bones, laying shadows low
It lingers like a phantom, a constant dread
Threatening to shatter, filling hearts with lead

Once a vibrant vessel, now frail and weak
The pressure mounts, the cracks begin to leak
Each step a reminder, a painful sting
A constant battle, a fruitless ring

Stress fracture, an unseen foe
Creeping through the bones, laying shadows low
It lingers like a phantom, a constant dread
Threatening to shatter, filling hearts with lead

Unseen by others, a silent burden borne
A secret torment, a struggle darkly drawn
It weighs upon the mind, a heavy load
A constant fear of what the future holds

Rest becomes a luxury, a distant dream
As pain persists, sleep remains a fleeting gleam
The body aches, the spirit falters low
A silent battle against an unseen blow

Stress fracture, an unseen foe
Creeping through the bones, laying shadows low
It lingers like a phantom, a constant dread
Threatening to shatter, filling hearts with lead

Yet in the darkness, a flicker of light
A determination to endure the fight
With each step taken, a triumph gained
A testament to resilience, the fracture tamed
