Implosion

When I was around 14
My knees began to crack
Crunch, creak, & groan
Every time I used the stairs
Or bent my leg at all
Crunch
It’s never hurt much
And it began so slowly
That I never stopped to worry

When I was around 14
My world completely shattered
An implosion
With catastrophic results
It hurt so severely 
That there are no words
To describe the pain
Like a million knives
Slicing me from the inside out

Sometimes I can’t help
But wonder
If the two
Are conversely
