Stubborn Sore

 

This silly little blister,

Perched upon my toe.

How long until it leaves me?

I simply do not know.

 

The agony it’s caused

As I stumble when I walk.

My shoe rubs up against it,

I curse each time I talk.

 

The band-aids have done nothing,

The medicine simply stings.

I’m sick of the burning pain,

And the annoyance that it brings.

 

When I thought all hope was lost,

The skin is beginning to heal.

Now I must be careful,

So as not to make it peel.

 

At last the stubborn sore

Has shrunk to minute scale.

Before I even had time to smile,

I found I have a hangnail.
