Why do I have to suffer

Why do I have to suffer?

Why me do I ask?

Why can’t I be healthy?

In a healthy body I could bask !

But no, I have headaches and muscle spasms

Weakness and pain so severe !

Great aches and pain so bad

I’m sure you don’t wanna hear !

I didn’t ask for this

I tried so hard to ignore

But no matter how hard I tried

I couldn’t do it anymore !

I had to find a doctor

He ran test after test

He couldn’t find the answer

Fibromyalgia was his best !

So where do I go from here?

No one really knows

I guess I have to live with it

So the story goes !

I get up every day

I rely on lots of pills

To get through every task

To try to cure my ills !

And though there is no answer

Each day I hope and pray

That there will be a hope

A miraculous cure someday !

Send me an Angel

Oh Lord send me an Angel

To help get me through this pain

I really can’t deal with it

I can’t go through it again !

It seems to never go away

It’s there all the time

How I wish for “A pain free day”

Just once more in this life of mine !

Then I could go out dancing

Maybe shopping all day too

And be the person I once was

Just for a day or two ! 

I know it may never happen

But an Angel sure would be nice

She could really help me

Maybe give me some advice !

So I can make it through

One more day again

With someone to lean on

A true divine friend !

Fibromyalgia is Real

Fibromyalgia is real

There is no doubt

If you don’t believe it

Here’s what it is all about !

It’s about being a professional

At the top of your career

And losing your future

In less than a year

It’s about having unrelenting pain

No one can figure out

Having test after test

That shows nothing but doubt

It’s about knowing your pain is real

And fighting for your rights

Being so upset and frustrated

Getting no sleep so many nights !

It’s about trying to find the right doctor

Who can offer you some hope

Who knows what it’s all about

Who can give you what you need to cope !

It’s about learning to live again

With a whole new personality

Letting go of the person you once were

And facing a whole new reality !

It’s about losing friends and family

Because they think “it’s all in your head”.

But truth be known, there are days

You hurt so much, you can’t get out of bed !

It’s about setting new priorities

“So what if there is dust”

You have to take care of yourself now

And do only what you must !

It’s about holding on to hope

Each new day could bring a cure

It’s holding on to this hope

That will raise your mood for sure !

It’s about being thankful for the few

Friends and family that are true

Believing and hoping for a miracle

Praying for strength to make it through !
