This Pain
figuring out what i already knew,
living in solace with very little to do-
allowing this pain to walk all over me,
making my eyes too blind to see…
this isn’t friction,
it’s addiction,
and i can’t break free
embraced by an illness that has taken hold,
too small to see i’m just too damn old-
forgetting this pain can walk all over me-
never seeing what will be, will be-
this isn’t vanity,
it’s insanity,
and i can’t break free
acceptance of what will come is the worst,
letting go of what i think has come first-
what will i find
in my poor mind?
continuing to let this pain walk all over me-
this isn’t real,
what i feel,
and for some reason, i just can’t break free
i’ve lost what i found in the beginning of time,
now i’m bound by sound spinning in rhyme
o, when will i break free?
from this pain that has taken hold of me

I am having a spinal fusion on February 3rd and am in a lot of physical pain. I am also a recovering addict and pain relief options have been very difficult for me. Please keep me in your prayers.
Many thanks :)
