My body is just pain

Of varying degrees

But always present

Not a single moment

Is passed without hurt

I'm kind of losing it

Hard not to feel it

It's invasively present

At all times, throbbing

In all kinds of ways

There's no way to toss it

Or not pay attention to it

It's there, like an unwanted

Passenger who hangs on

And won't let you forget

Add to the nightmare

Mobility's an issue 'cause

That pain is too great

The frustration is hard

To express, but it grows

I'm so very exhausted

I know I say it all the time

But am I ever, it's really

Weighing me down now

And not sure how long

I'll be able to withstand it

Feels like it's shortening

As the days go on 'cause

This pain is just too much

I seriously need a break
