Bad Knee

My knee hates me

It knows when I need it

Floods my leg with pain

Hot fire and daggers

My knee hates me

But I love it

Without it I would scoot around

In a metal beast with squeaky wheels

My knee hates me

But I love it

How shall I help it?

What can I do?

I wish it could tell me

Before it is through.
