CHRONIC BACKPAIN




Cringing from the torment,
Hurting every hour.
Rest, a fleeting memory,
Only torture to endure.
No end to silent suffering,
Intense synaptic surge,
Captured in the nerves.

Below the lumbar plexus,
Above the lower hip,
Chronic aching nerve ends
Kills thoughts of pleasure trips.
Pain within the body,
Aches along the spine,
Increases tense depression,
No matter what you try.
