Waking up tired as all hell
limbs refuse to co operate
slammin down the damn alarm bell
chest hurtin to respirate
stagger slow down each stair
drag the kettle to the heat
fumble the window for some air
but the catch has you beat
a cup of coffee and some pills
breakfast of the basest kind
for a sufferer of constant ills
of body, guts and mind
string out the morning time
trying to focus on this day
there is no rythm and no ryhme
no answers and no way
sitting finds you fast asleep
but standing is a bitch
and laying down is no relief
and tablets make you itch
friends all stay away now,
bored of your condition
they really don't like how
you alter their position
medication is kicking
possibilities enter your head
time is tick, tick, ticking
what to do? It's like I said...................
.....your mind may now be willing
but fibro is a sneaky thief
It will take your shiny shilling
seem to hear your self belief
will let you do a little dusting,
wash some clothes and shop,
you think you are adjusting
when fibro slams you to a stop.
You are wading through treacle
and swimming through tar,
cannot convince the people
that you came to far
Go to bed, tired as all hell
limbs refuse to co operate
set the alarm bell
and wait and wait for sleeping state
but fibro is sneaking
to mess up your resting brain
twisting not restoring
fibro wants you insane.
