Locked inside Her Pain

A poem about my mom and the pain she indures everyday

 Locked Inside Her Pain 
  

Living day to day in severe pain, overwhelming is her pain today, can't walk too good, for her legs hurt so. Kind and gentle she is, through all of her pain, even on her worst days, she always has a smile and a kind word for those who may pass by her way. Day after day I watch her in pain and pray there was something I could do. Intensely wanting to just be able to take all her pain away, nothing I can do to help her with it. Sweet and loving she is, her pain is sometimes unbearable. Intense pain is what she lives with everyday. Doctors won't give her anything for fear she may be allergic. Each and everyday her pain becomes worse. Hating myself because there is nothing I can do to help her, hoping that someday they will find a cure for Fibromyalgia and tendontis, realizing that she may never ever be pain free. Patiently, she tries to do the things she used to do but, once again her pain stops her from doing them. Inside her pain she cries, for relief of her pain or maybe a cure never getting the relief she so deserves, or wants. Dear Lord, please take my mom's pain away, so she will no longer be locked inside her pain and give her the life she used to know back, so that she can live her life a normal person without pain, and God, please be with her every day and night and keep her safe and warm.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           By MELISSIA ANN SENTER   © 2008 MELISSIA ANN SENTER (All rights reserved)

melissa, this is heartbreaking and brings tears to the spirit to empathize with the author
as i would wish such turmoiling pain on no one, your passionate words have the ability
to effect the reader, in a way that makes them feel what you are feeling, my heart goes
out to your mother, i am sorry to hear that, though she is a strong, wonderful woman who
i know overcomes those day to day odds, your poetry is very powerful, thank you for
sharing your talent, its nice to see you back at wc, this is an excellent read, mike
