Fibromyalgia

First pains
It’s all in your head 
Be active they said 
Remain positive instead
Overlooked by many
Medication, plenty
Your body aching 
Assistance dog training 
Life’s changing 
Goals become smaller 
Inside I am screaming 
Another disorder

Chronic

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

Fibromyalgia pain, unbearable at times
Is only good for turning in to rhymes
Bending is a problem with pain throughout
Regular twitches and spasms of doubt
Obnoxious frenemy causing woe
Morning stiffness from head to toe
Yawning constant every day
Aggressive and hard to keep at bay
Ligaments, tendons, muscles all sore
Gastro tracts feeling poor
Insomnia making for sleepless nights
Anxiety, depression, memory fights

Swollen glands,

Fibromyalgia

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

Chronic Pain, My Old Friend

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 follow me around 
With claws in my shoulders and neck
And

Fibromyalgia

No one knows the pain and struggle
we go through every hour of every
day 
We are survivors that most others
can definitely truly never say 
Our daily lives have been changed 
in every possible insane way 
Together we can make a stand 
and educate and advocate for
Fibromyalgia pain
No living being should be 
in a world of hurt

Fibromyalgia

As the circle starts, 

Storm clouds appear, 

Ahead of the road, 

A plenty of a tear. 

Muscles scream out as the stars charm the unbroken eyelids of the fit. 

Fybro has hit! 

Find it hard to sleep, the pain gets deep, 
Find it hard to sit, for even a little bit, 
Find it hard to

Fibromyalgia

No one ever told me when I grew up things would be this hard. 
No one ever knew. 
Everyone just took one day at a time, being a puppet and working for lard. 
No one ever knew. 

Now here I am, living my life day to day in sickness more than health. 
Who never knew?
I
