Fibromyalgia

Sick and tired of fibro pain

Totally driving me insane

Wake up feeling half dead

Takes me half hour, get out my bed

Hobble on down the stairs

Hate having these horrid flares

Into the kitchen I go

More human I’ll be feeling in a mo

Kettle on, meds now took

Soon I’ll settle with a book

After a giant mug of tea

Soon be feeling more like me

Hot water bottle, snuggly throw

Reading escapism, I’m good to go.
