A poem for you, the Fibro-warrior

[hippieatheart]

Burning, Stabbing, Shooting pains,

like fire rumbling through my veins,

Fatigue, brain fog, IBS (That's Poo...)

Symptoms of Fibro, to name a few,

Depression and anxiety because there's no cure,

for this vessel you're contained in is broken for sure,

but don't let this stop you from living my warrior friend,

don't flirt with expiration, yearning for it's end,

there is hope for you yet, no matter your situation,

the key is your perspective and manifestation,

Your mind is the garden, your thoughts are the seeds,

The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,

You've got this my darling, tell yourself so,

Look into the mirror, feel it head to toe,

Water those flowers and watch them grow,

It started with you, my darling, look at you go!

Hello Syedahuda, thank you for taking the time to read and respond! It makes me so happy knowing I have made your day a little bit brighter! <3 I am in much pain too, so on days like today we need to offer ourselves compassion and love, focus on what we can do, and not what we can't (Even if that is just laying in bed for the day watching TV!) You've got this, My Fibro-warrior, water those flowers <3 Sending gentle hugs <3 x

Brought tears to my eyes, after 1 of my worst nights last night. Restless legs, itching all over now no sleep since 1.11am migraine begins. Sums fellow sufferers n myself in a beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

[hippieatheart in reply to Babe1967]

Keep watering those seeds of hope, I know the struggle feels immense at times and you just don't know if you can live life like this anymore but those flowers will spread beauty and wholeness throughout your life and I promise you it is worth it 🌼 You've got this my darling, tell yourself so 💛

[Babe1967 in reply to hippieatheart]

What a lovely message thank you. 😊

[JessFM in reply to Babe1967]

I can relate, the itching is horrible and so frustrating!!!

[Babe1967 in reply to JessFM]

It's awful I have combination skin dry sensitive and very sore. Hope you get some ease. 🌹🌹

Wow what a wonderful poem, you are very talented. Despite trying to maintain a glass half full attitude I have been feeling down lately.Reading your poem has really resonated with me today and reminded me to count my blessings.

Thank you

Bless you xxLGxx

Quite right, we are warriors in a constant battle and I'm glad you wrote about not thinking of ending it all because it saddens me to read that some people have taken that option. - A great poem with a lot of thought, hope and direction. I really enjoyed reading it. Love the photos too. Keep writing and being inspired and inspiring.
