Living with Chronic Pain

I'm bluer then blue

This is truer then true

All this sadness

Is total madness

My self esteem

Has gone downstream

 

I can't seem to shake this

And for this I am remiss

Feeling like a failure

In need of a savior

Need to take action

On this lack of motivation

 

I don't know what to do

Feels like the flu

I hate this feeling

It's so damn crippling
