Poem
Chronic Pain – The Beginning You snuck into my life in the 1998th of May, Everything about me wishes that you’d go away, My whole being longs to feel good strong and well, But for the last 18 years each day has nothing new to tell, Chronic pain I hate you, chronic pain I hate you… My story is I used to be athletic but that changed for me, Playing sports of every kind enjoying being wild and free, Your gifts to me were all new forms of aches, pains and fretting, The simplest things became so hard to do plus deeply upsetting, Chronic pain my rage, chronic pain my rage… People see us walk and talk and think deep down this guy is fine, They do not see the inward battle that is stealing all that was mine, The real me is gone and he is not coming back for he has died, Oh one truth is my heart is breaking and I just want to run and hide, Chronic pain the robber, chronic pain the robber… Those who have been fighting long now just put on a pleasant face, Family, friends no longer stop by or care thinking we are a disgrace, We simply do whatever our bodies will allow us to do each day, Telling fibs to those who happen to ask us how are you anyway, Chronic pain my enemy, chronic pain my enemy… What will you do to me tomorrow trust me when I say I can wait, Comfort sanity good things to think about to get me through this date, God give me a silver bullet please restore me to my former self, I’m tired of sitting on the sidelines watching my life from on a shelf, Chronic pain please be gone, chronic pain please be gone… Written by – William Arthur Tell 2Cor.12:10 – Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
