Imprisoned in a body of pain....
It hurts. It really hurts. It's a nightmare of a life to live. Many times I feel I am less than alive. There's loss. There's much loss. It's a life of loss after loss. The conflict of frustration, anger and sadness over it gets overwhelming. Emotionally I am sometimes a total mess. Sleep deprivation comes with intense, severe, chronic pain. The cycle then becomes more vicious. It's an invisible disability. Many who were close to me doubt, ignore me or have hit the road. I have learned crying and yelling only cause more heartache. I pray. I hope. I dream. I sing. I give and receive support to and from other chronic pain suffererers. What a blessing that there other people who understand firsthand! These are the things that give me the strength to get up for yet another day of pain. Somehow and in some way I know I can survive it.

i sometimes think that the worst pain is not giving in, that would be so much easier
Hi Sherry I was inspired today when I read this I know your sadness and feel your pain. So I turned what you wrote into a song I will leave it to you to put the music and may need to adjust the words to suit your own style.

Well it hurts again – another day of pain
Yes it's a nightmare of a life I live.
And Many times I feel so sad inside
Because of the loss of the things I’ve left behind
So I dream. I hope. I sing. I pray.
For the life that I lost to come back one day
I want to Ride the range with my friends by my side
And not feel the loss that I’ve left it all behind
Sleep deprivation is intense like the rain
As the cycle of life becomes more vicious with the pain.
There’s a conflict of frustration and emotions to
Anger, sadness running through
So I pray. I hope. I dream. I sing.
I give thanks for the blessings that the rest of life brings
The understanding people who suffer just like me
These are the things that set me free
