Domination of pain

Domination of pain....

The cancer’s just a shadow,
in the corner of my mind,
But this pain in my neck and shoulders,
it’s the cruelest kind.
My spine feels like it’s breaking,
every move’s a brand new scar,
Will I ever feel whole again,
or is that dream too far?

Every step I take,
I damage,
every breath’s a fight,
This deep,
searing burn in my shoulders,
keeps me up at night.
Degenerative disease,
you’re a thief in the dark,
But I’ll get to my finish line,
even if I have to be dragged.

The nights are long and restless,
the days are just the same,
This musculoskeletal torment,
it’s a relentless game.
My body’s like a battlefield,
every muscle’s in a war,
But my spirit’s still unbroken,
I’ll keep fighting,
that’s for sure.

Oh,
will I ever feel whole again?
Will this pain ever end?
My bones are folding like a sun lounger,
But my will,
it won’t bend.

I see the world still turning,
while I’m stuck in this pain,
But I’ll keep on moving forward,
through the sunshine and the rain.
My bones may be degenerating,
but my heart is strong and true,
I’ll reach that finish line,
no matter what I have to do.

In the quiet of the morning,
when the world is still asleep,
I gather all my strength,
from the promises I keep.
This deep,
searing burn,
it won’t define my fate,
I’ll rise above this agony,
and walk through heaven’s gate.

My mind’s a constant battlefield,
with scars both old and new,
The mental weight I carry,
sometimes it’s hard to view.
These thoughts can be the heaviest, harder than the pain,
But I won’t let them break me,
I’ll rise again and again.

Oh,
will I ever feel whole again?
Will this pain ever end?
My bones are folding like a sun lounger,
But my will,
it won’t bend.

In the darkest hours,
when my mind begins to fray,
I gather all my willpower,
to see another day.
The shadows may be daunting,
but I won’t let them win,
I’ll fight with all my strength,
from deep within.

Though my mind gets weary,
and the scars are deep,
I hold on to my courage,
in the silence,
in the weep.
No matter how dark it gets,
I won’t be overborne,
With the strength of my will,
I’ll greet each morn.

My mind and will power,
they keep my clock ticking,
Without them,
I’d falter,
without them,
I’d fail.
In this jazz of life,
I’m the solo,
I’m the rhythm,
I’ll reach my goal,
even if I have to crawl.

Oh,
will I ever feel whole again?
Will this pain ever end?
My bones are folding like a sun lounger,
But my will,
it won’t bend.

So here’s to the finish line,
no matter how far,
I’ll get there with my mind and heart,
In this sad jazz of life,
I’m the star,
Even in pain,
I’ll play my part.
