Can'T Take This Suffering

**I've taken my meds, why can't I sleep?
My body is tired and my thoughts running deep.
If I laid down, I know I'd start aching,
Wanting to rest, this pain is breath taking.

**At times I literally want to break free,
And be rid of this condition swallowing me.
For it has caused me to be over stressed,
I just can't help I feel so depressed.

**Plus it's caused a whole lot of grief,
All I ask is to have some relief.
And these pains I've noticed are shooting everywhere,
Why can't I pretend they're not even there?

**Especially when my legs are the very first to swell,
It makes it even tougher to walk very well.
So when will a cure be under way?
Because I can't take this suffering everyday.

Why Oh Heavenly Father

**This pain from having Neuropathy, it's affected me so much more,
And it's affecting my left lower limb, alot more than just the right.
It's also getting to where, it's impossible to ignore,
Lord I truly hope, I'm able to rest tonight.

**Also there have been times, where it's become too much to take,
I do not know why or how my condition came to be.
If only this evil pain, would ease up to give me a break,
Why, Oh Heavenly Father, is this now happening to me?

**Because ever since I was diagnosed, it's made me very depressed,
Especially since this pain, has steadily gotten worse.
And since I've been losing mobility to walk, it makes me overstressed,
Why, Oh Heavenly Father, must I endure this evil curse?

**So I have accepted this is chronic, and it may never go away,
And there's more than likely not much of a chance that it'll ever go into remission.
I just cannot comprehend, how it's affected me in every way,
But why, Oh Heavenly Father, must I suffer with this condition?

Forever Crushed

**Feeling somewhat down today,
Most times I do not understand why.
But lately things aren't going my way,
So all I wanna do right now is cry.
**Like whatever I've said or tried to do,
My partner doesn't realize she's not been there.
Or whenever I've tried to make her see my point of view,
She'll respond by rolling her eyes & act like she honestly doesn't care.
**Then we would argue even when I've not been wrong,
In her eyes I'm the one at fault, though I've tried to make her see.
On my inside I am bawling, but outside I'm stiff & strong,
I don't think she'll ever know, how her ridiculing has seriously affected me.
**So I'll continue hiding how I feel the best I can today,
We just don't seem like we're happy like we were beginning from the start.
But the fact I've now realized, she'll always ignore anything I say,
It's truly affected our relationship, which in turn, has forever crushed my heart.

Help the Doctors

"Help The Doctors"

**Thank You Precious Father God, for relieving my pain today,
Because it seems here lately, it never gives me a break.
I want to be able to enjoy my life, without hurting in every way,
It just feels like I'm in this nightmare, from which I cannot wake.

**Though having this condition Lord, it gets rougher as You can tell,
Uncertain of how it began, or how it came to be.
But it's easier for me to tolerate when my extremities begin to swell,
It's all the painful electric shocks, that's been the toughest for me.

**So I will continue to pray for the future, that the doctors might find a cure,
Especially for those just beginning, this evil and torturing curse.
Father I ask You to help the doctors find it, because it's very painful to endure,
Help them find the answer Lord, as to why this condition keeps getting worse.

Battling

**My mental state here lately, hasn't been very well,
Mainly because of everything I'm medically battling through.
But whenever it's gotten to be too much, I feel like I blasted through Hell,
My body's physically drained, & my mind is also feeling it too.
**Since I first started coping with these horrific & progressive conditions,
It feels like I've been struck by a nuclear double curse.
Already knowing I've lost some mobility, it's not fair there's no remissions,
I'm just 37 yet inside, I can tell it's only going to get worse.
**Though this one small realization, it's tough to even say,
I literally wasn't this feeble, just a few short years ago.
Back then I could walk with no issues, unfortunately I cannot today,
What I'm battling is like an avalanche, trying to bury me underneath its snow.
**And I can sense who's reading this is curious, so I suppose it's time that I reveal,
To let you know exactly how much pain I'm having to endure.
It's both Neuropathy and Lymphedema, killing the nerves which allows me to feel,
I hate that it's even happening, even God agrees I'm sure.
**So for now I will close this poem & go,
No matter how much pain I'm in, I'm still going to enjoy my day.
Although I'm hurting terribly, I'm trying hard to not let it show,
Because not even these two conditions, can steal my happiness away.

This I Pray

**Heavenly Father this I pray,
Please banish this sickness from our Goo.
Heal her body in every way,
For now I dedicate her back to You.
**And she's a jewel upon this Earth,
Created perfectly by Your own hands.
She'd been made in Your image before her birth,
She'll serve You in Your favor & will follow Your commands.
**For "God's Favor" is the meaning of her middle name,
Which is why I had chosen to call her Grace.
She'll do wonders for Your Kingdom all in the same,
Setting a happy smile, upon Your glorious face.
**So I ask You to watch over her tonight,
Help her to gently slumber away.
Please make her illness vanish from sight,
Oh, Heavenly Father, this I pray.

What Any Loving Parent Would Do

**Since August 20th, our Goo had fallen sick,
And just starting Kindergarten, not long after her very first day.
First a sore throat, then testing positive for covid, now this "Croupe" cough, will not go away.
**But praise God, she finally started her steroid med,
On the road to recovery, getting back to herself once more.
I can't believe it's so contagious or I'd be holding her close instead,
I was certain she had it though, because she had previously caught it before.
**Though I couldn't help but notice that it worsened more at night,
I'm sure for her it was impossible, to try to get any amount of rest.
I have a feeling this medicine will help her finally be alright,
Neither could I imagine the pain that's been pulsating throughout her chest.
**So I'm glad I kept watch over our poor little Goo,
I just feel so horrible, my words cannot explain.
I didn't care if I lost sleep, I did what any loving parent would do,
For no one wants to see their child, suffer through so much pain.

Lord, Reserve My Hands

**This morning I had awoken, with this swelling in both
my hands,
And however this had started, I do not have a clue.
I wonder if there are people in my support who
understands,
Is this another symptom, that I will have to go through?
**One thing that will upset me, is losing my ability to
write,
I'd be very devastated, if I could not finish my book.
I swear that this condition, is like a thief in the night,
Disguised up as the Devil, who is nothing but a crook!
**| still cannot believe, how fast this has progressed,
Or how it all began, I honestly cannot see.
I also hate the fact, it's making me feel depressed,
I just think it's crazy that this crap is happening to me.
**So Lord, right now I ask You, to reserve my hands to
write,
So I'm able to inform others, about what Neuropathy can
do.
Have Your angels surround me, as they come to me in
flight,
In this I ask in Your Name, for I dedicate my book to You.

Suffering

**This morning my legs have already started to ache,
I hate that I go through this every single day.
Whenever my pain is intolerable, it then becomes too much for me to take,
I just can't believe it's incurable, I have no words to even say.

**Plus the more I've learned about having Neuropathy, how it destroys and kills off my nerves,
I cannot help but feeling that I despise it all the more.
This is definitely one condition which no one else deserves,
If only there was a cure, so I could once again become how I was before.

**So for those experiencing early symptoms, of this horrible nasty curse,
I strongly encourage you all, to get checked out when you're possibly able to.
For the longer it's put off, the more it's going to get worse,
But of it is caught early enough, you have a chance of reversing it, and not suffer like I've been suffering through.

In You, I Believe

**Dearest Heavenly Father, I humbly come to You today,
In Your wonderful name continue, to make better, our precious Goo.
Make this virus vanish forever Lord, never returning in any way,
I give You all the glory, I believe it to be true.

  **And what we may ask for in Your name, it shall be given to me,
You, my Lord created her, with Your mighty & wonderful hands.
In Your name I ask come down oh, God, from this illness SET HER FREE,
Satan you're banished in Jesus' name,
From our Gracie as our Father commands!
    
**So I praise You & exhault You Almighty One,
Thank you for Your blessings that I'm about to receive.
Knowing our child is better, by Your will it shall be done,
In You my God are exhaulted, & in You I do believe.
