Fibro Rhyme - to the tune of Sweet Child O Mine

People don’t see, the pain that I’m in
and nobody’s asking why
& if they did, they wouldn’t care
as life just passes me by

Pins & needles & the aches & pains
sneaky and sly they be
all the stiffness & exhaustion too
is not what people see

Whoa, oh oh this pain of mine
whoa, oh oh this fibro rhyme

Now & then I wish I could have
a smile upon my face
I’d take the pain & lock it away
in an unknown place

I used to have much energy
now all over I hurt
times have changed, woe is me
my life is much like dirt

Whoa, oh oh this pain of mine
Whoa, oh oh this fibro rhyme

Take it away now, take it away
take it away now, take it away
Go go go go go, this time 
Take it away, this pain of mine.
