I wish I did not have back pain
I wish it went away
But it’s not going anywhere
It’s certainly here to stay
I think I’m finding ways to cope
and then it all goes wrong
I get respite but spend that time
waiting for it to all go wrong
I’ve had the most amazing christmas
despite enduring pain
but each morning I wake and fear
what that day will bring again
my days are getting harder
my world has changed and so
my life is never again going to be
the one I used to know
I have never had a year
with so many tears to fight
but I will keep going, I have no choice
but to fight this with all my might.
Wine Can't Cure Back Pain 
Remember you are not alone in this….we all have to get up every day and fight and do the best we can. I think the hardest thing are the days when there are so many things you want to get done and then the pain gets in the way and it’s frustrating. Hang in there, you are doing the best you can 🙂
thanks Lynsey, right now, it feels so hard. It’s just a day. I will be ok tomorrow. thank you again.
I’m so so sorry that u have to battle this horendous pain. Although different I’m an insomniac so its an internal pain but feel what you say with the waking every day. My thoughts and prayers are with you and hope things get better soon. Happy Christmas x
Happy Christmas to you too lovely x I had a great christmas, with pain, in a box. I hope you are getting a little bit of hope with your reflexology, and you managed to find some rest on your break away from it all x

AND. I can’t even rhyme. I ain’t ever gonna be a poet.
I’m sad for you. I have chronic back pain too, but not like yours. I hope you find ways to cope. x
Wine helps! 😉 but unfortunately, I have gone right off alcohol, which is quite disastrous, although, possibly not as disastrous as if I drank too much wine along with the medical counter I consume each day ! Thank you for your kind thoughts. x
I love this~ You are so creative! Poems can be the best way to describe pain. I often write short poems as a mini pain diary, and it helps me get through the emotional and physical pain. I look forward to reading more of your blog. – Meg, On Your Nerves Blog
oh thank you, I really don’t think it is creative! just couldn’t think of how else to write how I felt, and had just read Winter Boy some Dr Seuss poems. Just had rhyms in my head I think! I might try some more
