 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

How Do I Cope?


Why do I have to live in this pain?
Every day of my life, over and over again!
I shall tell you, and tell you true!
How I cope with it, and how I get through!

I try and stay as focused as I can,
And keep my head on straight!
Because I accept that this is my life,
And I have to acknowledge my fate!

But it's hard, so damned hard!
To get through every day and night!
Because I have to deal with so much,
With this pain that's so out of sight!

And the bones on my spine; my vertebrae,
Will keep snapping off all my lifelong day!
And the pain, oh the pain, will never die down,
No, it will never, not ever go away!

So I have to stay focused and strong,
And fight it, and I have to stay true!
And fight the fight; with all my might!
Because there is nothing else I can do!

And now my meds have started to kick in,
I shall once more be free of my pain!
And fall into an oblivion pain free time,
Until I can cope with it once again!

How do I cope? I have no idea!
All I do know is – I have no choice!
And I can no longer be that hero!
