To

My Life Within

Living With Fibromyalgia

My days are long

My nights are worse

I barely sleep

Oh, what a curse

My muscles ache

I don't know why

I can't remember

Although I try

My family cries

Where have I gone

They cannot see

Me moving on

I used to be so full of life

Now I'm weary, full of strife

It's slowed me down

Oh, what a curse

Some days I go from bad to worse

Well, maybe this is not so bad

I've used up all the strength I had

Instead I think that I've been blessed

With taking time to get some rest

It's made me change my ways, you see

I've had to start to think of me

It's good for me to take the time

To grasp that inner peace of mind

It's nice discovering who I am

Taking time to view the land

To see how much I love to write

To think, to paint, just feels so right

This must have been the plan for me

God blessed me surely, now I see
