growing pains

it is
the slow
growing
that takes
more
from me

soft
dissipation
smoothing
inwards

seeping
velvet thick
into my
ears

wrapping
around my
lungs

furtive and white

tattooing
hard in
my veins

so that
clutching
my stomach

i wake

in the dark
sobbing

let it be still

i beg

everyone
knows
growing
pains
are the
worst kind
