People don’t see, the pain that I’m in
and nobody’s asking why
& if they did, they wouldn’t care
as life just passes me by
Pins & needles & the aches & pains
sneaky and sly they be
all the stiffness & exhaustion too
is not what people see
Whoa, oh oh this pain of mine
whoa, oh oh this fibro rhyme
Now & then I wish I could have
a smile upon my face
I’d take the pain & lock it away
in an unknown place
I used to have much energy
now all over I hurt
times have changed, woe is me
my life is much like dirt
Whoa, oh oh this pain of mine
Whoa, oh oh this fibro rhyme
Take it away now, take it away
take it away now, take it away
Go go go go go, this time
Take it away, this pain of mine.

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!

and then buzzing starts below skin
shocks shoot along veins
I hold my arm
a different pain today
it buckles the knee
grinds the shoulder
it burns the elbow
gnaws the hip
I rub my back
a deep breath and sigh
ricochets ribcage-aches like children
playing at pinball machines
another new pain today
another old pain tomorrow
the everywhere everyday unsurprising surprise
and a spasm grips within muscle

Oh for the Love of Fibro
there for me every day
constantly reminding me
she is here to stay
With twitches and cramping
aching and pain
heaviness, weakness
& a foggy brain
Stiffness & trembles
Tender skin too
exhaustion & rib pain
but that’s nothing new
It’s just my Fibro friend
keeping me alert
reminding me constantly
my life has turned to dirt
Oh for the Love of Fibro
wish she’d go away
she’s so damn clingy
& Aint no friend today.

It takes strength, day and night
to tolerate pain, the Fibro fight
the muscle aches, damn brain fog
total exhaustion, stiff as a log
headaches, sciatica, insomnia and more
tinnitus, vertigo, and stress galore
nerve pain and spasms, when does it end
this Fibromyalgia needs to mend
I don’t look sick, but my struggle is real
I’m quite often hot, when cold you feel
The ride never ends, but I am strong
Chronic pains no joke, but I will go on.
