Fibromyalgia

It is not pretend

it is not fake

it is not in the mind

it is in the body

it is real it

is there

do not call me a liar

do not say I am faking

you do not understand

therefore you cannot accept

 

Our nerves are always hurting

are muscles are constantly seizing

are bones constantly swelling and in pain

These are the signs remember them

 

Some of us can walk some of us can move some of us are stuck some of us cannot

some of us have it easy meds are helping some of us are not so lucky meds are failing

 

For me I'm the ladder I am stuck I am in pain meds do nothing

This is just how it is this is how it will always be

Remember this condition is real and it is not fake

Notes

I wrote this to remind people that those of us who have fibromyalgia should not be ignored and then we should not be told that we are Liars are pretending just because you do not know about the condition does not mean it does not exist we do have days that we can move around and walk with ease but we have for many more of those days when we are in constant pain I am tired of people assuming that I am all right when I am not tired of people calling me a liar or bartender just because they don't know and don't want to take the time to learn
