Difficult to ignore, pain in the heel
injuries come and go, some stay longer
struggle to overcome the pain, no gain
as the old saying goes, how not to feel
pain with analgesics, the privation
portends a foreboding, faster, stronger
older body, ointment offers no pain
initially, the contusion, a bruise
no x-ray solves, pain as invitation
to introspection, no shame to expose
maintain training schedule, never a choice
exasperated, frustrated, a rose
needles with thorns, to speak without a voice
tormented by disappointment, why choose
