Fibro poem/ditty at long last

[ldjboothby]

For you all with much love and understanding, better read out loud with correct pauses.

I've developed a wobble

and I definitely creak.

Don't ask me to do anything

as I've grown very weak

Don't ask me my name

my mind it has gone

I won't be able to tell you

where on earth I am from

"Hello" doctor I say

"have they reintroduced the rack?"

"what's that?" he asks

something used on my back.

I look and I look

my eyesights gone bleary.

That's definitely because

I'm so terribly weary.

I'm so terribly exhausted

I must go to bed

Now that I've arisen

my body's like lead

Get up says my husband

so he can lay in

Oh where's the understanding

from kith and from kin.

At times I'm so exhausted

up the stairs I've crawled to bed.

Then the doctors tell me

It's all really in your head

It's in my head alright

they've identified the part.

So what I want to know

is-when's the treatment going to start?

My head it's full of thoughts

which are not at all coherent.

Rather like all the doctors

to whom - I have been sent.

Today the sun is shining

I'm in a happy haze

Not at at all like yesterday when I

despaired of the fibro maze

It's a chronic condition and

we'd like to be a happy band.

So just asking all the people

please try and understand.

Understand when the pains

bring us down and low.

Understand that the fibro fog

makes me say come -when I mean go

I have many fellow sufferers

who need support like me.

So if you happen to know one-then

invite them in for tea.
