- connective tissues : tendons, ligaments, cartilage, blood vessels...  

 

 

Lift your arm,

bend your elbow,

or your wrist, or

fingers, or simply

Move any body part

 

And feel pain

No matter the

Movement you

Might be making

Even if it's light

 

That's my condition, a

Connective tissue problem

Whereby mine are too lax

The more I move my body

The more it causes pain

 

It can also cause injury

Everything in me has

Too much space to move

And it does: it sprains,

It pulls, it pinches, it rubs

 

There isn't a moment

In my body that doesn't hurt

That's what I'm dealing with

Right now, don't mean to be

 

A sourpuss in your midst

It just takes a lot of space
