The Pain
 

Sharing a few of my poems about my experiences with chronic pain. Maybe some people can relate...


Pain

Pain, please leave me,
Please will you just go away?
Quit haunting my every moment,
Stop bothering me every single day.
Pain, this horrible feeling,
What did I do to deserve such pain?
Why are you punishing me?
Why do you have to remain?
Pain, leave me alone,
I will not be consumed by you,
What did I do wrong?
What do I have to do?
Pain, will you continue,
To afflict my every moment?
For the rest of my life,
Or is relief being sent?
Pain, leave me be,
What will drive you away?
I don’t deserve this,
I did not ask for you in any way.
Pain, I wish I could,
Banish you to hell forever,
I will not rely on you,
I don’t believe in you ever.
Pain, stop the torture,
Release your grip on me,
Will you please stop?
All I want is to be free...

Neuralgia

This neuralgia,
What does it mean?
Headaches, dizziness,
And so much unseen.
Tingling sensations,
All around my brain,
Sensitive skin,
Often an intense pain.
It comes and goes,
Like waves on the sea,
It lets me go,
Then it just consumes me…

The Pain

The pain starts,
From a certain point,
Inside the nerves,
Deep in the spine.
The pain spreads,
Following a trail,
Through the neck,
Around the base,
And up over the skull,
Under the ears,
And across the face,
First the skin tingles,
Then it starts to burn,
The pain grows,
Sinks down deeper,
Takes over the brain,
Grips the whole head,
It becomes quite intense,
The sight is affected,
And the balance too,
Dizzy and disorientated,
Feeling so overwhelmed,
And so helpless as well,
When will it ever end…?

This Chronic Pain
 

This Chronic Pain

Muscles so tight,
Strong spasms again,
Wanting relief,
From this chronic pain.
Nerves so touchy,
Driving me insane,
Getting desperate,
With this chronic pain.
Down every nerve,
And through every vein,
Searching the cause,
Of this chronic pain.
After many tests,
Doubts will still remain,
Seeking answers,
For this chronic pain.
On a journey,
Deep inside my brain,
Tracing the source,
Of this chronic pain.
A special scan,
So much to explain,
Reveals the truth,
Of this chronic pain…
