Chronic Pain, My Old Friend

Good Morning Pain Another day, Old Friend Silent and invisible Besides the cracking of my joints and the pounding in my head Every Day You And Me I've grown tired of the misery Its easier to sleep you away At least I can't feel you then But there you are the next morning You follow me around With claws in my shoulders and neck And knives in my hips and back Your murmurs sharp in my brain I can't remember when I didn’t ache When my head didn't throb When my joints weren't sore When I dreamt of dreams to achieve Will you haunt me forever This endless battle Living or just existing Goodnight Pain, see you again tomorrow
