Painful Solution

to solve

Being sleepless at night
often due to the pain
There is little to delight
as we deal with this bane

 

When we finally go to sleep
waking up it's the same
If only there was a way
to stop playing this game

 

But the answer is here
staring us down
The answer will not come
when we deny it with a frown

 

By searching our past
it becomes ever more clear
We have not made the changes
we didn't want to hear

 

Now that our eyes are open
we can take a new tack
Hopefully it will work
and then be a fact

 

By using this poem's help
we may soon find
That if we can stay awake
we can treat our body more kind

 

Any life one lives
will still have some pain
But changing our behavior
there may be much to gain

 

In this game we are playing
we must make up the rules
But if we don’t follow them
we are the only fools

 

Poems are just good words
that can tell us what to do
Following my own words
should give me a clue
