Oh My Pain

by Sheila Buchanan

In medicine pain implies something that happens when some parts of the body are damaged.  It can be emotional or physical or both.  It is an individual experience and not well understood.

Pain cannot be measured.

It is a four letter word

My pain is full on All day long

And night time too

Same pain

Different for me and for you.

Heat or cold applied to the site

Supposed to relieve

This terrible shite

Tell your doctor the internet says

The doctor implies he hasn’t a clue

Take a pill That will do.

Time will heal

You’ve heard the spiel

We’ll take more pictures

As we obviously can

No holds barred

Its chronic now.

Good luck friend

Be on your way

Bad news is

Pain is here to stay.

But don’t worry I’m FINE.
