…Please Help Me Get Through This Night…


I'm sitting here in agony tonight,          
Something happened that gave me a fright!
I was watching TV and out of the blue,
This horrific pain came, didn't know what to do!
I thought I'd got a dead leg and caused the pain!
But it got so bad, it drove me quite insane!
I tried to fathom what was wrong with me,
But all I had was pain; it was all I could see!

I was in a fog, the mist was thick…
The paid got so intense, it made me sick.
I tried to stand up, but oh God the pain!
Each time I tried to get up, the pain drove me insane!
I grabbed hold of the chair and pulled myself up,
It was overflowing; my pain filled cup!
I struggled to stand, and God it hurt,
I phoned my daughter, and sobbing I'd blurt;

I am in excruciating pain, what do I do?
As I sat and cried, tears omitting through!
I was in a sea of pain, and oh what pain,
I tried to stand, over and over again!
I finally got up, for the pain kept me down,
And as I tried to weight bear, it caused a frown.
The pain in my bum, went right to my knee,
Pain was all I had; it was all I could see!

I struggled to the kitchen to take a pill,
But they are so potent, they make me ill!
But the pain was horrific; I couldn't bear it to last!
I needed pain relief, I needed it fast!
As I went to sit down, oh the pain once again,
It was driving me nuts, driving me insane!
It was worse than the pain that I live with each day!
That I am used to, but not this one this day!

I sat and I cried, I stood and I sobbed,
Why, oh why of my health was I robbed!
What can I do?  Who do I see?
Because no-one at all, they say, can help me!
Nothing they can do, I've heard it all before!
But they wrote me off, and I don't know what for!
In this day and age, when men can walk on Mars,
And the speed of light puts them up with the stars!

How can they do all that, and tell me true;
‘Catherine, there isn't a thing we can do!'
What have I done in life that's oh, so bad!
That deems me a life of pain, and a heart that's sad!
So I lay once again, trying to get through the pain,
Once more in the mire! It's always the same!
I can't understand why He gives me so much to bear,
And at times like this, it just doesn't seem fair!

Am I a moaner?  Do I complain too much?
Well I can't help it, for I have no crutch!
This God of mine, this God I adore,
Why can't He understand, I can't take much more!
All I need Him to do - is cut me some slack!
Ease my plight, and take some of my pain back!
It's not too much to ask, well I don't think so!
All I want is for a little of this pain to go!

But here I am once again, oh woe is me;
With a pain out of sight, and lots of fear inside me!
I don't know what to do, for I have to say;
It's the first time this pain has happened this today!
It's all new to me, and it scares me so,
Because it won't subside, it just won't go!
My meds are the best, so strong and good;
But they're not working now, I didn't think they would!

So now I'm in a mess, in the middle of the night,
Surrounded and blinded in a pain out of sight!
I try my best to get through each day of pain,
But oh God you always give me more again!
I can barely stand up for the pain that I'm in,
Can't sit or walk…any movement I can't win!
My body's not good and the bones are messed!
Is this a punishment, or is this a test?

For if this is a test; then I tell it true,
This life of mine; would be no life for you!
It's hard to get through, this I can't deny,
And that's the reason at night, alone I cry.
Cry into my pillow of tears, and beg of God above!
To send me some ease, and shower me with love.
But He isn't listening; He can't hear my cry…
And that's why I'm here in the dark, and asking why!

‘Why do you give me all this pain and strife?
What have I done that's so horrific in life!
For I jest you not God, and I tell it true!
When I finally meet you, I'm gunning for you!'
So here I am Dear Lord, crying once again;
Not surrounded in cotton-wool, but wrapped in pain!
I try my best, oh God but I do!
And when I look for help, I look to you!

But you may hear my cry, but you do nothing at all!
Will you ever, just once, try to answer my call?
Because I'm drowning in a sea of fear and pain!
Oh God, I ask of you once again…

…Please help me get through this night…
