I wake up and I’m still in pain
My body is stiff and aching
I get up feeling the pain ease a little
I don’t feel too bad today
…
I manage to shower and wash my hair
I may even be able to dry it today
It’s a very rare day indeed
Today is a good pain day
…
I do a few tasks I want to do
My arms start to hurt
My back still throbs, my legs ache
But I’m better than usual
…
On my good days I always overdo it
I think I’m suddenly invinsible
I can take on the world myself
I am miraculously cured
But no I need to remember
I have a chronic illness
It’s never all fun and games
There is a darker side to a good day
…
I know I might be in bed for days after
Yet still I do too much
I’m sick of saying no to everything
I want to push myself for once
…
Sometimes the consequences are worth it
I just want to feel slightly human
Just for one day
Is that too much to ask?
