Chronic Poems - Poems about Chronic

It's only 2:00 am. I even waited to take the drugs till midnight, so I wouldn't have to fight an extra 2 hours through the night Not that it makes much of a difference. In 4.5 hours my alarm will go off (not that I really need one) and I'll continue to just survive each torturous moment. The only difference is the daytime doesn't have the...

These next _ minutes are going to be hard... I open my eyes Not sure what time it is, but I bet I can guess. The drugs never work for more than 2 hours, and the distress from the pressure in my head and throat has been suppressing more than 2 hours of sleep a night for months now - even with the drugs. They have...

I'll be fine tomorrow— a whispered promise to no one, to myself. It's a nuisance, a pain in the assiduous characters of my intellect, unrelenting, well-meaning, but delusional, nothing truly unusual. I'll feel fine in a week. Only the weak build paper-thin walls - desperate shields against a crumbling sky. They're cracking, but denial is refuge. For now. Maybe a month or two?

I love the winter, the way it whirls my breath Away; reminds me I am alive, there's hope. I love the ferns bejeweled in snow, the heath As it patterns our legs, walking forest-roads. I love the spring, that washes snow away, Brings flowers, strong roots, fragile and pale- Seeming. I love the summer, storm-blaze Lazy lightning, theater of stars, golden corn That...

Chronic Fool, that I was, I thought to be more Only to be gutted, and left on the shore. To Doctor’s appointments, I dutifully arrived To be sent away, told lie after lie. You look so good, you must feel fine? The only explanation, “it’s all in your mind”. The package so shinny, the skin, so bright, The body inside,...

I feel riddled with sickness, plagued by all infirmity. Like a fiddle playing a - score of sombre tunes. (Kouta form - Japanese quatrain, 7,7,7,5) 03.20.2024...

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 scream mercy but they are all merciless, Chronic pain, Feeling shame, Takes me...

When traveling a stretch of life's highway Does it feel like it's uphill both ways? Does it feel like winter's twelve months long? Do you work like a dog for small pay? Well welcome to a newly formed club The Association of Chronic Bellyachers We meet every Thursday at the crack of dawn We're a bunch of cranky “whine” makers No grins, guffaws,...

duskfall creature, tipsy on the blood of the covenant, tell me, when did you pull the ninth card? when your fangs grew in and your eyes grew tired, what made you build the castle walls? the sunlight burns, you protest, every silver-backed mirror a reminder to forget. close the books, put down your stakes, because the real world doesn’t work like that, creature of...

Shingles is something I live with daily Chosen for me by whom? I have no idea. I doubt it is my choice, as it is painful. My skin is tender; shingles is red, raw, sore, and rough. This disease is something I try to forget about every day. I can push it back into the farthest corners of my brain. If I...
