Pain
Pain
Trying to check my email today
I sit at my computer when I
Suddenly feel shards and rays
Up from my feet sharply pry
I rush for my pills to stop the awash
Of pain that I had not expected
It came on so fast that I was tossed
Into agony so deep it was never suspected
It seems to get worse day after day
Though meds I've been given
Docs don't have the guts to try and assay
The horrid world of pain that I live in
It seems new guidelines have been set
That keep docs from treating chronic pain
But their families won't feel bad I bet
They'll have relief from going insane
While the rest of us must try and go on
With our horrible lives forever
I wonder if life's worth this dreadful song
Should I try and pursue this vain endeavor
Truly in Christianity, I sincerely believe
And have paid all my many dues
I ask God this painful condition to relieve
But so far all my prayers are refused
Nor for pity do I beg of you
But what is the right answer
Must I endure such a life untrue
I would rather just die of cancer
