something i wrote earlier
Experience has shown me no matter how hard you try
I cannot keep up and this makes me cry
No energy to get up there's housework to do
But it all piles up coz you cannot get through
Fatigue is the killer together with the pain
Afflicting us again and again
Non fibro sufferers don't understand for sure, they huff and they puff as they go out the door
You explain and explain time and again
They wear that frown on their face and show the usual disdain
What they expect in reality is beyond our means
This illness kills our hopes and dreams
What i would give for a day with no pain
It would be bliss, but I'd want it again
My house is a mess and so is my mind
I'm in such stress and no strength can I find
Do they not think that we hate our illness
Which leaves us knackered and feeling useless
They only see the "Old You" and not what the illness puts you through
The constant struggle is driving me mad
And at this time I'm feeling so sad
Walking from one room to another i have to sit down so i can recover
I was a working mum of one But this illness has killed all the fun
I don't want to go out the efforts too great and I fear that I'd fall and something will break
You're not listening is what i hear, that's not true, its just because i have gone vague and the words are not clear
Although i am present - I am not always there
Sometimes I'm not pleasant and i no longer care
Take me as you find me or leave me alone
And if you have a go at me don't bother to phone
I will not apologise for how i am I try my hardest but you think it's a scam
Spend a day in my pain and see how you feel
Coz I don't think you'd cope
BECAUSE THIS ILLNESS IS REAL.............
