TOO MUCH PAIN (new poem)

TOO MUCH PAIN
Life and its trials and tribulations
Oh the pains
What have I done to be in this pain?
I just wish it would go
It’s driving me insane
I can’t walk, or talk!
Each step is like a knife
Being driven deep within my spine
Twisting, turning, burning
Drawing the madness, bringing the sadness
The crawling around on the floor
Not able to reach my own front door.

Everyone sees me as
The happy, smiley,
Carefree with energy
Oh how they could see
The pain that goes on
Behind that painted smile
Which only I put on
For all to see

I maybe the bravest of souls
But life goes on
Through the pain and tears
Through the years and my fears
I am not ready for that
Wheel chair just yet and you bet!
Not while my feet can
Carry me
Through
This is dedicated to all my fellow sufferers
Who have the conditions FIBROMYALGIA, OSTEO-ARTHRITIS
