I wake up for the third day in a row with <br />my body screaming in pain <br />The insides of my elbows and knees <br />feel stretched to the point of snapping <br />My eyes are as heavy as lead balls <br />They are open but <br />blind to joy <br />Every muscle in my body <br />aching flu-like <br /> <br />Fibromyalgia? <br />Medication does no good <br />Repressed emotions? <br />I have explored inner demons until <br />I am blue in the face <br />There is no relief until <br />sleep comes again <br /> <br />I have never discovered the source <br />I just know that it hurts like hell <br />and <br />I live in fear <br />because <br />it may happen again <br />when I wake up <br />tomorrow..<br /><br />Jeffrey Philip Clegg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/body-shock-the-joy-of-on-again-off-again-chronic/
