This broken column
Lies crooked abed
Sinew and muscle
Attached to its frame
It creaks, it groans
Shakily rising
Balancing, balancing
Vertical again
Nerves scream
Electric connections
Of pain and alarm
A body aflame

I can't even express how demoralizing it is to go to bed in pain and wake up in pain for several years in a row.

I wonder if
I've overlooked the thing
The thing that would save my life
If I've settled for this chronic illness
Ran out of fight to keep seeking answers
After staring into so many doctors eyes
As they say "Your fifteen minutes is up."

Awake at midnight again
My spine awake
Threatening, threatening
Pain upon pain
I lie and hold
The second arrow
I give it space
And wait for tomorrow

On a rope of thorns
Desperate not to leave my children behind

If people saw those who suffered
And brought them paper, pens and care

Trying out a new art therapy idea. Stitching out my fibromyalgia pain and then covering it with flowers.

My reading log so far this year. Most of these have been audiobooks from #Libby the #library app.
It's devastating to see funding being stripped away from libraries in the US. Access to books is so important.
I'm treating the #bannedbooks lists as recommended reading lists too.
