Fibromyalgia

Pain Without a Face

Meki g
Where did He come from?
I don't know if He came day or night, winter or summer, all I know is that He came
And stayed....just the same

He came all of a sudden, or maybe it was slower.
All I know is my life started to sink lower and lower.
Moving in with such effortless deliberate motions with a purpose.
Changing, flipping, moving, hurting and controlling my life as if it owned me now.
I tried to fight to fight Him but I didn't know how.

Boldness to even climb into bed with my husband and I and stay there, taking a center position between our sheets.
Boldness to tell me when I could sleep even controlling my moves to its own beat.
Day by day taking over more and more of my existence, until I wish to be no more.
Looking for a way out but, there is no door.

It's easier to tell where He is then where He isn't.
But no one can see Him with me only the changes in me.
The X-ray can't see Him nor can He be scoped.
But I feel broken and diseased and without any hope.

I don't want to live, but, I don't want to die
And you look at me and ask me why...why, you look like there is nothing wrong with you,
So why can't you do the things like I do.

If you could see the me that I feel
You would see the bruises, the breaks and the blood that flows
From unseen wounds that no one knows
But me...

But Jesus said He'd never leave me nor forsake
So whose word am I going to take?
He said He'd put no more on me than I can bear,
I'm so glad my Jesus cares.

So, I've made up my mind what I'm going to be,
I have fibro but it doesn't have me.

    It is an all-encompassing pain...few truly understand and, sadly some don't believe it.

    I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR OPENING UP YOUR HEART AND FOR SHARING YOUR PAIN
    MAYBE PEOPLE CAN BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND HOW FM SETS IN AND TURN PEOPLES
    LIVES UPSIDE DOWN. YOU ARE SO BRAVE I WISH TO BE HALF THE WOMAN THAT YOU ARE.

    I've seen you suffer thru this and I know that God has heard your cries...and people are seeing you courageously walk with God guiding your every step. There are a lot of people who don't know about fibro and they automatically assume that it is a fictional illness for conversa tion purposes but it is very, very real. I am praying for you and know that God will lead you thru this and I know that in the process others will take note of how you will not yield to it and perhaps they too can endure their problems. This poem gives me hope!

    Mommy, though I know in part what you go through. I know that if the ignorant would just take the opportunity to read this then they will be enlightened aboout what it is that FM patients go through. You are not alone in this walk for as you know there will be a time you look back and see one set of footprints in the sand but be encouraged in knowing that he will always be there beside you or carrying you. I love you.
