~ No Way To Curb The Pain ~
At early rise I am on the floor
No sleep last night
Tossed and turned dreamed no more
An evil force attacking my pride
No way to curb the pain
A doubter and his doubt
My mind's eye began to stray
While in the grip I am devout
But hallucination's in the game
No way to curb the pain
A quiet place for reverie
Becomes a torturous wish
For all is screaming deep inside me
Suicide my menu's only dish
No way to curb the pain
And so, in my mind
I tear down the church gate
I claw and I fight
For it is God I do dare berate
What other way
To curb this sinful pain
The sort of pain
That drives the pouring rain
The kind of pain
That considers insane
An option
What other way
To curb this crazy pain...

Oh my darling.......I know how you have had to suffer and tolerate this dreadful pain...My overriding hope is that somehow someway the pain allieviates and you can find that strength to move forward...How you manage to write such a compelling piece when distracted by so much pain is beyond me..but then you are a force of nature in itself so I shouldn't really be surprised..healing hugs and constant prayers for you my brother poet...an excellent piece expressing perfectly the frustration, anger and mind altering state that pain can leave you in..Lodigiana xxx
Hi LODIGIANA!!....thanx for the empathy girlfriend......I guess in answer to your question ~ the way I do it is by staying above the pain.......I have been dealing with it for so long that I've gotten used to the idea of it...... even though some days are FAR better than others!!...... also I have great doctors!! (smiles)...... anyway, thanx so much for the Love and support...... you're awesome!!..... Hugs N Smiles!!.......T xo ❤
Hey Tony,
Nice write my friend, but sorry for your pain. I know how it is to have a bad back(from years of sports, and a defect), but I keep refusing to have surgery(I don't like surgery, it seems like people cutting you open, and messing around inside of you, to me).
I hope your pain subsides.
Matthew.
Hey thanx for the kind words MATTHEW!!..... same here.....9 years of football...... and several other issues will take you there..... truth is...... Mind over matter is truly the only that REALLY works!! (smiles).....I have had surgery and it works for a while...... but eventually you're right back at square one...... anyway, these last few writes are NOT my best...... but they help me focus..... I'm a songwriter so much of My focus lies there.......thanx for being cool bro!!...... Peace N Stuff!!.......T xo ?✴?
Hey Tony,
You're the cool one, my friend. You always give such nice, excitable reviews, and comments. Very friendly, I really like that.
That is true(mind over matter), I believe also. I've lived with it for a long time, and fight through it, but I've seen people(like my cousin Amy), who have had surgery, and turned out much worse! She's in bad shape.
Anyway, you're a really great guy, Tony. Hope you get through the pain.
Matthew.

hay Tony I know how you feel I have bad back as well
I hurt my back 30 years ago over the years I will pull it out
where I cant do anything when my back ok I can do things
but it hurts like yard work or any kind work I can pull my back out
just putting on my shoes one time I bent over to put something away
and pulled my back couldn't left up ones I did I had go to work that wasn't good day back in august of last year I was trying take my lawn mower blade
off when I realy pulled my back out it took 6 mouths to get better I should have went to the doc but I didn't I am lucky I got better but it still hurts to do thing
but I will be ok
Hey GREG!!....I know EXACTLY what you mean man....... Back troubles REALLY suck........ sometimes I have to get Spinal injections just to be able to deal with it....... crazy days!!...... Oh well...... such is life......... just gotta do the best we can right?..... anyway, talk soon bro!!..... thanx for being cool!!.......T xo ❤
Dear Tony, I wish I had one magic finger and take some of your pain from you. I know you must feel helpless cause I do and your pain is really bad. I tried medical marijuana sucker once and I was amazed when I realized that I didn't hurt anywhere! A feeling I had forgotten. Maybe that will be an option for you soon. If you don't mind me asking do you have a morphine implant in your back? I know you would still have pain but might help in that one area. I pray for you and your family. God bless. Love, Terry Kay
My Dear Tony,
There are times of my intense pain
When I berate Thee my dear Lord
I question my devotion
Seek where the grapes of wrath are stored
.
As I waver on insanity
I lash out at my dear King
But He instantly forgives me
And a panacea does He bring
Love you Bro,
Larry xxx
