Pity Party
How can I feel so tired?
I've slept for most of the day,
Being in constant pain,
Is causing me dismay.
It's not just my knee,
I have cervicalgia to put up with too,
My right side is shot to ****,
What the bloody hell am I to do?
I'm taking tramadol and gabapentin,
With amitriptyline and co-codamol on top,
I'm surprised I'm not rattling,
I just want this pain to stop.
I have vitamin D supplements,
B12 injections every quarter,
My medications dry out my mouth,
I spend all day drinking water.
I can't sleep due to the pain,
Oh dear, woe is me,
If it's not that keeping me awake,
It's the many times I have to get up to pee.
I think I'll give myself up for scrap,
Not that I've got many working parts,
And seeing as I've had curry for tea,
They certainly won't want me with farts.
So, I'll just sit here and wallow,
Taking strong painkillers is a swine,
Beer and spirits are off limits,
I can't even have a glass of wine.
But, hey I'm still smiling,
If I don't I'll break down and cry,
It's time to take my tablets,
Zombified time is nigh.
