I am an Unmovable object
My Ode to the psychological ramifications of injury:
I'm sitting on the couch, an unmovable object,
Transfixed, foot in the air, trying to figure out this "project"
of rehab and healing.
But without my passion - running - I gaze out with an empty feeling.
Distractions keep my mind colonized,
but running keeps my heart occupied.
I hate the feeling of immobilzation and paralysis;
However, I must digress and drop this analysis.
Without running, my mind defaults into a funk -
my imagination, creativity and energy sunk.
I yearn for the magical and mythological runner's high,
but all I can do is sit here and cry.
Yeah - I am bored and I am procrastinating (an "art" I have mastered). I still cannot work out because my foot hurts like a dagger in the heart (okay, well not that bad!). I am biding my time until I can get on a bike and break free from the shackles of immobility. I am a little melodramatic at the moment because I am so sad.....and restless. At least I have over 70 pages of reading to do and 2 reflection papers to write for class!!!!
