In Pain

Every day is the same pain,
I wake up in pain,
I move in pain,
I sleep in pain.

Illness is not always noticeable,
You and your body look !! Normal,
Only on the inside....... I'm broken,
Rheumatoid arthritis is to blaim,
I'm in pain.

People look at me and I look healthy,
Joints inside can not be seen,
Healthy is way in my past,
Dont judge,
I'm in pain.

All I want is my life back,
But!!!!!  Eventually the disease will win,
Then I will hide it no longer,
And you will see,
I'm in pain.

Pains! sufferings! as long as we long this pains won't leave us; importunate it is ... that's why I always practice to say myself- "I am fine, God sent me to this earth to live good, I took birth to live well, I'm fine always and thanks to you all"
