“Hollow Pins”
Sitting here an echo in the wind
like distant pins.
No feeling deep within.
A stabbing pain like knife blades
pressed upon my leather skin.
Shooting down my legs,
wishing I could run again.
Take a break,
No need to fake,
So much pain when I begin to live
again…

There is a lot of pain here, implied; both physical and emotional. I, like Manisha, hope you're okay.
This was sad. Hope you're well!
