Agony

This poem is very stark, but it's also very true. As anyone who suffers from chronic pain, such as myself and several of my friends, know, this is just a way of life. Still it's a very dark, and possibly upsetting, poem so you may want to skip it.

I lay here wracked with pain

Aching in every inch of my body

My bones, my muscles; they scream in agony

The drugs that flow through my bloodstream

Merely dulling the torment I am in

The knowledge certain in my brain

That this pain will never end

There is no cure, no miracle drug

For as long as I live, I will suffer

And I am young yet

I have many years of life left in me

Each one likely to be more agonizing than the one before

But I will live, I will battle on

I will not win, but I will not surrender

And when death finally comes

With it will come sweet release

And I will soar unencumbered by suffering

Straight into the heavens
