Notes About The Poem

A Poem about the daily life, living with Fibromyalgia, with a touch of humor. 

What the Fibro

My feet are always aching, like I've been on them all day
my muscles keep on twitching, my back keeps giving way
the migraines keep me tired and the Fibro too
I'm seriously lacking energy, but I've got so much to do.

The list keeps getting longer, I've lost my train of thought
now a daily struggle, I wish my pain was naught
I'm really good at hiding, exactly how I feel
though my tank is nearly empty, I need my bod to heal.

My skin is all darn prickly, like I'm poked with pins
I'm lacking motivation, I really need some wins
Sleeps another factor, don't get much of that
which leads to inactivity and bloody body fat.
                          WTF!

Thanks Jan, humor helps with healing, not that Fibro ever goes away, but we do have to laugh at these things sometimes. :)
