Chronic illness…pain…conditions
Are often tied to frustration.
Slowly or suddenly
Life is changed.
The smallest of tasks
Becomes a massive mountain.
Obstacles are magnified
As we struggle for relief.
Our illness…pain…conditions
Are not understood by medicine.
Some conditions have
More solutions or rather resources than others.
We struggle with doctors
With specialists that do not believe.
Some of us educate them
Truly proving that these conditions exist.
We fight frustration
As we try medications….treatments.
Each of our bodies
React and exhibit symptoms differently.
The vast spectrum
Blurs and confuses.
Commercials bombard loved ones
Convincing them of “miracle drugs”.
Yet we have strength
We have others like ourselves.
As we join and share
We speak to ease our frustration.
We can overcome the negative
Even while trapped.
Trapped within a body
We no longer understand.
