I Lapsed…


I lapsed, I haven't written, cos my heads been all over the place,
I can't really concentrate, and writing, what I couldn't face!
But the thing is there you see, my words are my lifeline, my sanity,
But I haven't been writing, not at all, and let's face it, that's not me!

So I decided just now I'll try…and get my head together and write,
I may even be on here in the early hours, cos I just can't sleep at night!
The pain in my ribs is tearing me apart; the base of my spine's a mess,
The worst night for me since the fracture…but I accept it I guess.

My steroid jabs aren't till next month, he puts them into my ribs, oh yes!
The back of my neck, my cervical spine, and I depend on them I guess!
So I have 4 weeks to wait, but meanwhile this pain is out of sight,
Of a day I can bear it…but oh, it's off the scales at night!

I'm dreading the next 4 weeks; don't know how I'm going to cope?
But it's light at the end of the tunnel, cos of the steroids; I have hope!
They are agony when they go in, and for a few days after I'm in bad,
But oh my oh my, the relief, they are worth the pain I had.

So every 14 weeks I go back in, and have them all over again,
But I have to say in all honesty, if I didn't have them, I'd go insane!!
The meds I'm on gained me weight, and of course the steroids do too!
But I think I am over that, cos at the end of the day, what can I do?

If I want to be thin I'd stop my meds, be in total agony and stuck inside,
So I'd rather be fat, and in less pain, and have a bit of a life outside!!
So its fat I am, and fat I'll stay, and live to fight another day!
And I'll get my head around it! What choice do I have?

Just about none!
Life has so much diversity doesn't it?
Mine does anyway!
