"SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR IMPLANT" ( tomorrows the day... )

Tomorrow's the day, the day at the end
Of a very long road
A road rife with depression
And pain
Tomorrow's the day that the pain
Begins to dissipate
A spinal cord stimulator
Will be implanted
On my spine
Where there will be no more cryin'
No more fear of just dyin'
And less narcotics to take
And hopefully
Less, stayin' awake
Or being awakened by pain
So great
That you contemplate
The option
Of suicides face
That face
That you affectionately
Hate......

Tomorrow's the day
My life begins it's metamorphosis
From chronic pain
Into
The chrysalis of faith
Where my many prayers
To date
Are answered by surgeons
And technologies
Collective ability
To stimulate
My soul....
