For those who suffer pain, emotional and or physical;
On a good day I can
do anything
Just like I could before
On other days I try and fail,
As pain begins to soar
It comes and goes, from time to time
For no rhyme or any reason
Not from overwork or stress,
The weather or the season
Not from something I have done wrong
I did not rest too little
Or too long
Day to day I walk a line
But if you ask me, I am just fine
Because I am overall,
The pain is a part of me that’s small
It does not change my heart or mind
It is simply not how I am defined
I am not alone, nor first to feel
This pain that is so very real
Judgement comes now and again
From those who cannot see
What is going on inside or
How those words hurt
me
Yet on a good day I can do anything
Just like I could before…
Stay safe, and be kind

I loved your poem.
Oh this is absolutely beautiful. I know exactly what you are saying. HUGS HUGS HUGS. B
Wow, you said it all for a lot of us. Living with pain is not an easy thing, and sometimes people without a clue express some pretty ignorant opinions.
It is what it is.
Hope it subsides soon girl, and you sure get a ton of stuff done in spite of it! take it easy for a bit.
Beautifully expressed.
Your poem helped me so much, you have no idea.
Something "clicked" in this old head.
Suddenly, I forgave a certain person.
He needed it, and I needed to.
Thank you for being there, Fern.
Thanks for being my kind stone.
Very nice. I think a lot of people can relate to this!
Well said as always.
Sorry I went on and on the first time so used an eraser in my first comment above... I so can feel what you are saying ...it hits home here with me deeply. Thanks for sharing.
I can sure relate- pain? What pain? It becomes a part of you but doesn't define you.
