Winter
Winters close
I can see my breath again
Lips are cracking
Eyes and nose are dry
Joints are stiff
Bones are brittle
Nail beds and cuticles are fraying
Painful strands of skin peeled back
Spinal fluid thickening, radiating a stinging pain throughout
Muscles shivering trying to generate heat to prevent a total freeze
Standing up straight- cant let winter bring us to our knees
I can see my breath again
Lips are cracking
Eyes and nose are dry
Joints are stiff
Bones are brittle
Nail beds and cuticles are fraying
Painful strands of skin peeled back
Spinal fluid thickening, radiating a stinging pain throughout
Muscles shivering trying to generate heat to prevent a total freeze
Standing up straight- cant let winter bring us to our knees
