Chronic pain's a bear,
the agony no one ever sees...
Looked at with doubtful eyes
no one knows the torture.
Chronic pain's a bear,
worse is the depression and the knowledge...
In the medicine cabinet are pills
that can end the pain or end it all.
the agony no one ever sees...
Looked at with doubtful eyes
no one knows the torture.
Chronic pain's a bear,
worse is the depression and the knowledge...
In the medicine cabinet are pills
that can end the pain or end it all.
Over the past month I have been tormented with a bad right knee, bursitis in my right hip and a pinched nerve in my lower back. All related I am sure. The pain is exhausting. I have indeed been depressed, just not that depressed. I am familiar with the territory.
