~ A
Quest for Understanding ~
(Fibromyalgia)
A condition that attacks
Our
muscle's inner core
It is
the reason we feel so tired
Also the
reason why we are so sore
We must
learn to pace ourselves
Through
our everyday routine
For when
we overdo it
The pain
will surely increase
So many
people do not understand FM
Because
we who suffer do not look sick
They
cannot believe that there is something wrong
They
think all we need is a swift kick
Believe
me if this would help
We would
be the first to stand in line
It is
only in standing together
In
sharing the experiences of our lives
That we
who truly suffer with FM
Can get
others to understand our plight.
