Aching All Over Poem by Donna Saphier

I feel so down, I feel so sad
Everthing in my life is bad
I hate today, I hate tomorrow
Because my heart is full with sorrow

I'm very lonely, I'm so depressed
I sit in my pyjama's, I don't get dressed
I really have let myself go
And I just want this pain to go

I'm so fed-up, I've had enough
I'm finding life really tough
I ache all over every day
I hate it, it won't go away

The doctor hasn't got a clue
Of the pain that I am going through
I'm hurting and I cannot cope
I just sit in all day and mope

What can I do my life's on hold
It's arthritis now I'm told
I cannot bend, I cannot kneel
The pain it feel's so surreal

Please someone help me I'm giving in
This aching pain is gonna win
I've had enough, can't take much more
I wish I was like I was before

Now I'll take myself to bed
My body feel's like it's made of lead
I need my sleep, I need my rest
Especially if I want to look my best

I'll carry on hiding this pain inside
No one see's the tears I've cried
I, m happy go lucky, so people say
But I can't carry on pretending this way

No more does morphine kill the pain
So miserable, I will remain
