Pain

Every night I lay in bed crying

Because I can feel my body slowly dying

I want to surrender

I want to live a new adventure

Please God take me home

I'll accept my defeat

This pain that was  given to me

Is making it almost impossible to stand on my own two feet

This pain is so intense

It's literally demanding

The want and need for a cure

Is almost intimidating

This pain I'm talking about

Starts from the top of my head

Working it's way through my body

Until it finally reaches my toes

The extent of misery I feel everyday

Is something that nobody knows

Because I put a fake smile on my face

And try my hardest to survive another day

I wrote this poem about my diabetic neuropathy and how sometimes I want to give up but don't and I keep going
