my day

a new day
i wake
slowly
painfully
tired
aching muscles
sore and cramped
waiting
muscle stretch
slowly
gaining looseness
still tired
tired and sore
oh no
sharp pain
my neck
ooh my shoulder too
does it end
will it stop
maybe
maybe never
wait for sleep
hours away
ok just sit
or maybe not

whats wrong with me
so tired
so sore
all over
never goes away
all the way
maybe some relief
every now & then
this thing
fibromyalgia
thats what they call it
my mother has it
so do her sisters
and their mother
all in pain
every day
they try to help
medicine
therapy
we still live with it
always will
maybe
ill just go to sleep
worry about it
tomorrow
