I'M Broken Poem by Bonnie B Long

My body gets bent with pain
With all the meds it does remain
There are days I feel just fine
And people say its in my mind

The meds don't always help
At times I hurt so bad I yelp
There are days with no pain
That help keep me sane

It hurts to walk it hurts to sit
At times I feel that I've been hit
Hit by a bat a time or two
Can't even bend to tie my shoe

To look at me you'd say I was wrong
No pain I feel I must be strong
Although I hurt it doesnt show
I've seen the looks so I know

People think I am lying
While all the time I am dying
There are some days that I can't wait
Until I've reached heavens gate
