I’m sure somewhere there is a voodoo doll of me
With someone sticking pins in my neck, arms and knee
I feel like I’ve fallen down several flights of stairs
But when I look there’s not a single bruise there
It hurts when I stand up, lie down or sit
I can’t remember the last time I didn’t hurt a bit
Some days I feel so tired of dealing with this pain
Especially when I know tomorrow it will be there again
Along with all the other symptoms that we fibro warriors fight
Like fatigue and not sleeping through the night
We know invisible illnesses are difficult to understand
But sometimes we just need a little helping hand
A hug, a smile, the kettles on are the best remedies for me
Along with Pain Slayer by MCC
You cannot take the pain away we know we still will flare
But it really makes a difference knowing that you care
