Pain~ Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken
Pain~
It always arrives uninvited
Into my life much rain must fall...
Un-nerving me and my well being
My body? Why pain wants it all;
It has become a constant companion
With nary a break or a pause...
Awakening every day in wonder and what if's...
Of the uncomfortable this condition does cause;
It travels a circuit - almost constant
There is no position that seems right- -
Inflamation's pain - is truly unrelenting
As i continue to fight with all my might;
It keeps me a prisoner and bed ridden...
No reprieve is ever given to me- -
A visitor that i prayed would leave- -
Alas, realizing - that is never to be;
It reminds me always of it's angry presence...
Oft' times making me cry...
As i am left here in suspended animation- -
Biding my time - just waiting to die;

Amitava - thank you for reading my work and taking the time to comment. You are very much appreciated! ! !
Dear Theo, I think I can understand a bit of the suffering expressed here. Pain feels like being in a desert full of heat and ennui. When we finally find a position with a bit less pain, it is like an oasis. I expressed this in one poem (Y/. a tough ride) which I invite you to read. I truly wish you can find many oasis today where the pain moves a bit to the background, I wish you lots and lots of strength.
I hope your pain is not permanent Theo, but I understand your plight having had my fair share of it. Very well expressed here, and my very best wishes for you to get some respite.
Poem is nice. And poem is difficult to comment. Pain is uninvited.. In life. Before this, life is uninvited too.
