Poem written by me a while ago when feeling down about Fibromyalgia.

FROM THE HEART

I am fed so fed up with all this hurt

I lay here tearful wondering

Why life won't give me a break.

Do I actually deserve all this?

One thing after another

it never goes away.

All I want is to be free of

this pain and tiredness.

Everyone has to suffer me

But why should they

I WISH PEOPLE WOULD UNDERSTAND THE PAIN IM IN.

I want to be happy and full of life

But I can't see I ever will.

Things will never change

At least in bed I can sleep.

And not feel the pain.

Until another day begins

and starts all over again.

What joy

What a life........

What a life......

Hi Littlejan

What a moving poem, well done for expressing so well what effects many people.

I can so empathise with your feelings, I often think life has dealt us a bad hand. My only difference is the bit about sleeping.

I often go to bed after 2am, I think the latest (earliest?) was 5.30am! Sometimes I don't even go to bed for several days, just doze on the sofa a couple of hours at a time.

The effort & pain involved in climbing the stairs wakes me up too much, then take hours to get back to sleep again as I can't lay without pain somewhere! Grrrr!

You are so right, what a life!

Yet it is our life, & the only one we have, so we must make the best of it!

I am glad we have each other on here, & can whinge, cry & laugh together!

I hope you have better days to come soon.

Gentle hugs, xx

Thank you for replying to my poem, but feel a bit bad, I ache and am stiff etc, but I dont think im as bad as you or many people on here. I have realised that after reading many bolgs. Im 48 and have had fibro for about 12 years, it seamed to happened after my mum died. Carry on contacting me on here if you wish.
