Best Chronic Pain Poems

'If chronic pain were Olympic sport'

Morning shocks me with a jolt
Night time flies like Usain Bolt
If dream of sleep were 'lympic pride
My pain within I'd win not hide
If feeling tired, was winning gold 
My chronic illness medal hold
We would be there chasing Mo
If energy won...

Chronic Pain – The Beginning


You snuck into my life in the 1998th of May,
Everything about me wishes that you’d go away,
My whole being longs to feel good strong and well,
But for the last 18 years each day has nothing new to tell,
Chronic pain I hate...

Pretty
Sadly
Needy
Pushy

Limping slowly pretty sadly shy
Anger rises needy pushy pain.

Good Morning Pain
Another day, Old Friend
Silent and invisible 
Besides the cracking of my joints
and the pounding in my head
Every Day You And Me
I've grown tired of the misery
Its easier to sleep you away
At least I can't feel you then
But there you are the next morning
You...

Nothing But Sorrow

There is no longer any sign of hope,

The truth of reality is to much to bare,

My mangled mind can no longer cope,

As I'm filled with nothing but despair,

I long for the fortune of a normal life,

To bare a babe such is a woman's...

I wake every morning
Sometimes in the middle of the night
With a jolt, or a sting, and it causes a fright 

It could be anywhere
Head, sides or knee
But it has never, or will be, any less than three

I fear my death at any given time 
The...

-don't exceed them when you know it will only cause you more pain

15 years I have been a prisoner
I was the victim of identity theft 
Who I was, that person was stolen, 
And it was I who had to do the time
Despite not being the culprit of the crime  
Half my life was taken away from...

No, she said, it just wasn’t worth a try.
Her life, she said, it must come to an end.
Goddess Latona of the darkness said goodbye.
Mother enigmatic could no longer pretend. 
Her children caught in advancing adulthood,
we never clearly understood her daily anguish.
She exposed parts of her...

I feel angry,
Angry at the world surrounding me, 
Angry at the person I can clearly see,
Full of rage so ferrocious it blinds me, 

This pent up wrath that boils inside me,
Blasts out full force, an explosion for all to see, 
This intangible fierce red wrath...

Pain it's back again 
Coursing through each vein
Pain it never leaves 
Consuming me for its needs
Pain hangs on me 
Theres no where to hide or flee 
Pain my bestest friend 
Haunting me to no end 
Pain emotional physical 
It's no luxury or paradisiacal
Pain lies in...

Waking moments feel like eternity,
When pain swallows the serenity,
Everyday life is no longer the same,
"You seem to have Chronic pain" 
Doctors can't find the cause or solution,
I cry and scream,
Who is there to blame,
Not everything can be proven, 
but not everyone believes,
"Its nothing but laziness",
I...

I feel broken, incapacitated 
This Migraine Disease has stolen
So much time from my life
But also the relationships
So many cannot cope 
With someone with chronic pain
So we become unworthy
Slowly people lose touch
Or some create stories
To fit their agenda that
We don’t fit into anymore
We are not believed...

I am simply trying to stay afloat 
In an otherwise sinking land
An escape between past and future 
An island of pain 
Treaded up 
Barefoot in the sand 
Grains of memories stuck in the creases 
Standing is sore 
Walking is sore
On my hands and knees I...
