Living with Pain

A poem about what it is like living with Fibromyalgia and chronic pain.

Darkness comes, the pain is great
Full of grief, full of hate

So much loss of body and soul
What can ever fill that hole?

Grief of all that used to be
Pain so deep you cannot see

Will it stop? Or will I fall?
I cannot bear to face it all

All alone nowhere to hide
Wish for someone by my side
