Chronic Pain Poems - Poems about Chronic Pain

Please tell the world — pain is real, It doesn’t vanish, it doesn’t heal. Some may smile and say “you’ll mend,” But this is a war that will never end. Chronic pain doesn’t come-and-go, It’s in your joints, it’s all you know. It lingers in silence, behind each breath, A quiet shadow that mimics death. Debilitating, crushing, it’s stolen my days, In a thousand...

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 We are histrionic No one can have chronic pain that...

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 hidden to us by motherhood. How dare she bring her...

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 slightest of itches makes my anxiety climb My ears are...
