The stinging on the left of my face 

Accompanied

with occasional throbs.

Pricked continuously in the same place.

Even blinking my eye as well hurts, 

yet

same with opening my eyes. There’s pain

always, regardless of what one does.

Man, as I am, is doomed to despair,

Desperately

to sadness he is clinched.

Discomfort,

life’s true nature ‘tis clear.

Futility excludes none,the fiend.

Still,

effort.

To try is first instinct.

Adrenaline will course, replace blood.

Forced, I react at will

muscles twitch.

To do nothing is to be a dud.

Consequence, actions come with no hints.

They come

in season.

A flower’s bud.

Why not split it into stanzas?
