Why do I have to suffer? A Fibro Poem

Why do I have to suffer?
Why me do I ask?
Why can’t I be healthy?
In a healthy body I could bask !
But no, I have headaches and muscle spasms
Weakness and pain so severe !
Great aches and pain so bad
I’m sure you don’t wanna hear !
I didn’t ask for this
I tried so hard to ignore
But no matter how hard I tried
I couldn’t do it anymore !
I had to find a doctor
He ran test after test
He couldn’t find the answer
Fibromyalgia was his best !
So where do I go from here?
No one really knows
I guess I have to live with it
So the story goes !
I get up every day
I rely on lots of pills
To get through every task
To try to cure my ills !
And though there is no answer
Each day I hope and pray
That there will be a hope
A miraculous cure someday !
