Can'T Take This Suffering
**I've taken my meds, why can't I sleep?
My body is tired and my thoughts running deep.
If I laid down, I know I'd start aching,
Wanting to rest, this pain is breath taking.
**At times I literally want to break free,
And be rid of this condition swallowing me.
For it has caused me to be over stressed,
I just can't help I feel so depressed.
**Plus it's caused a whole lot of grief,
All I ask is to have some relief.
And these pains I've noticed are shooting everywhere,
Why can't I pretend they're not even there?
**Especially when my legs are the very first to swell,
It makes it even tougher to walk very well.
So when will a cure be under way?
Because I can't take this suffering everyday.
