Pain was the word …I fear
I used a lot this past year.

Never able to hide …
From pain day and night.

A hard to accept reality…
When no relieve after each modality.

I have tried many different pills…
But the side effects are no thrills.

It takes away my drive…
And affects my quality of life.

This relentless ache is not kind
And is starting to effect my state of mind.

I often get irritable at best
Won’t name the rest!

In 2016 for sure
Hope to find a cure.

And enjoy my life once more
As I knew it before.

It is hard to concentrate on having fun
While this pain I cannot seem to shun.

My life seems about “pain and me”.
Will I ever again be free?

Or get a break
From this 24 hour ache?

But…I continue to focus on trying to believe
That 2016 will bring relief.
