I feel raw.

I feel raw.
I feel raw in the most legitimate sense of the word. 
My body aches, 
And my bones break. 
I feel raw. 
I feel raw in a way only a mind can.
My thoughts stop, 
And my brain switches off.
I feel raw, 
But the most important part is where I feel raw, 
For it isn't my body, not really, 
I feel raw in my lungs and my throat. 
So I cannot talk to you,
For I fear if I do, 
My vocal chords will surely give up on me.
Now that is truly the tragedy.
