Why Oh Heavenly Father

**This pain from having Neuropathy, it's affected me so much more,
And it's affecting my left lower limb, alot more than just the right.
It's also getting to where, it's impossible to ignore,
Lord I truly hope, I'm able to rest tonight.

**Also there have been times, where it's become too much to take,
I do not know why or how my condition came to be.
If only this evil pain, would ease up to give me a break,
Why, Oh Heavenly Father, is this now happening to me?

**Because ever since I was diagnosed, it's made me very depressed,
Especially since this pain, has steadily gotten worse.
And since I've been losing mobility to walk, it makes me overstressed,
Why, Oh Heavenly Father, must I endure this evil curse?

**So I have accepted this is chronic, and it may never go away,
And there's more than likely not much of a chance that it'll ever go into remission.
I just cannot comprehend, how it's affected me in every way,
But why, Oh Heavenly Father, must I suffer with this condition?
