" Pain Diminishes Me "

My pain diminishes me, my self esteem
I hate the eyes of pity
Or painful glances from Loved ones
I hate myself for hating
But pain is driving my rationale now
And I have become
A passenger
On the train of painkillers
And insanity
Doctors and their painful mistakes
Their operations
Are weakening my spine
And my pain is making me hate them
And their inability
To help me cry
So I close my eyes and dream
Dream
That I NEVER
Wake up again
For the reality is too much
And pain
Has a mind of it's own......

Dearest Tony this is the first day I have been able to venture here once again. Sorry your are suffering so greatly once again but trusting even though the pain blurs a sweeter days hope that it will come through on the wings of prayer and the gracious kindness of love and healing release for you. May His healing hand and virtue be effective and felt more than pain and suffering you now endure. I have challengesbut more manageable now due to prayers being answered and trusting you will have your desired break through giving you a better chance also. Love Always for you and dearest Cheri and loving Georgina who understands and cares so much along with others here. Love to your dearest Mom from my heart. Others find their courage through you and your writings and this one is one that they can relate to also. Well done...I am sure it was not easy to share the true frustration that pain being so prolonged brings. You battle well against it or else they would not offer you the help medically but they see it may help a d I pray with you that it does complete the heavenly loving healing touch. I wanted to communicate with you in this little way as I can now in certain moments as Father God allows. Blessings and new found peace be yours now and always from my heart to you dearest Tony brave warrior in the battle of pain. Your Kate
