Thank-you fibro for choosing me,
Thank-you for making me so poorly
Thanks for the pain I suffer each day
Thanks for migraines that won't go away
Thanks for helping me to fall on the floor
Thanks for making everything such a chore
Thanks for making me drop things all the time
Thanks for the struggle to make this rhyme
Thanks for the forgetting where I am
Thanks for never making me feel glam
Thanks for the burning, the rashes too
Thanks for the emotions, which keep making me blue
Thanks for the meds, I take each day
Thank-you fibro for making me this way
Thank-you for making every day such a pain
Thank-you fibro once again
Thank-you for the anxiety & the depression
Thanks for making me leave my profession
Thanks for changing my whole lifestyle
What I'd give to not have fibro just for a while.
Thank-you for giving me the fatigue
I hope one day we may all be freed
But for now Christmas is coming & my wish for you all,
Is a pain free day, however big or small.
