has been

waking from dreams afraid
of each day as it might hurt worse
bracing for the worst
with each movement every task
patiently prodding along
until everything is in order
for a thought to arise
it must wake the soul
from a sleep too deep
for full recovery
waking a demon haunting
with every breath
taken into beaten lungs
beneath a thin frame
could be easily crushed
and has been
more than once
and now he is back to
the has been
that he has always been…
