Chronic Pain
How is it that I
In so much physical pain
Everyday have to prove my
Disabilities and explain
Even to doctors and nurses
The problems I face
That my body is a curse
My feet I must place
Every morning upon wake
All through the day
Until bed I then lie
Upon which others' bodies rest
But my body screams
Up through my throat
But I stiffle it in
As I listen to sleep music
And wait for the meds to kick in
Tomorrow starts over
Each day is new
Maybe I won't have to explain
And others will just understand
Likely not, if I'm honest
So I'll work on my delivery
Until they believe me
Or I'll be gone
And my pain will be none
