Invisible Ailment
I despise you every day
Pills needed to make pain go away
Tried so many to help me through
A pain free day, impossible that's true.
Patches,nerve blocks,try Botox
Acupressure, acupuncture, re-adjust
Ice and heat, new pills this week
Go down on one, go up, don't peak.
Withdrawals from one, effects from another
Lost another week, I want my mother,
Comfort, understanding someone to care
Lost so many, no comfort there.
Dependance is not addiction
Explaining those differences causes friction
Making others understand
I need support, just lend a hand.
Living each day in chronic pain
Is no life, at times insane.
I wish one pill will end this drama
That all began from surgical trauma.
Lowered, changed, done what I should
Educated myself learned everything I could
To find what helps relieve my pain
Because I want to live again
Living a life in chronic pain
Hell on earth minus flame
Having a problem invisible to see
Causes judgement, scorn, jealousy
People think it a sham
Never try to understand
Can't understand when not in sight
Explaining illness is my plight.
What I would give to live pain free
No need of medicines to carry me
Miracles happen I'm told its true
If selfish oh well, My life, not you.
