Pivotal Poetry Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

This Acrostic poem is about the continuous daily struggles of living with Fibromyalgia, yet we always hang in there and hold out hope that life will get better. It is for all those living with this condition and an applause for the strength they have getting through each day. 

Fibromyalgia Strong

Fibromyalgia pain, unbearable at times
Is only good for turning in to rhymes
Bending is a problem with pain throughout
Regular twitches and spasms of doubt
Obnoxious frenemy causing woe
Morning stiffness from head to toe
Yawning constant every day
Aggressive and hard to keep at bay
Ligaments, tendons, muscles all sore
Gastro tracts feeling poor
Insomnia making for sleepless nights
Anxiety, depression, memory fights

Swollen glands, shooting pain
Temperature swings, damn migraine
Ribs hurt, back aches, itchy skin
Out of order, BUT not giving in
Nerves all frazzled, Fibro is rough
Gives us hell, BUT we are Tough.
