Sharing some of my poems I've written over the last few years.
:)

Keep Up The Fight

When you're suffering,
When you're in pain,
You've got to fight,
Got to get back up again.

When you're struggling,
When it all becomes too much,
You've got to hold on,
You've got to keep in touch.

When you're feeling down,
And nothing seems to go right,
You've got to be strong,
And try to keep up the fight.

When it all seems so hard,
Just to even survive,
You've got to let them know,
That you're still alive!

I Believe In You

When the world pulls you down,
When you're feeling low,
When nothing seems right,
I just want you to know...

I believe in your ability,
To turn things around,
To pick yourself up
When you hit the ground.

I believe in your capacity
for giving and sharing,
for kindness and goodness,
for loving and caring.

I believe in your strength,
In every single thing you do,.
With all of my heart,
I really believe in You!

I’m Here For You

I’m here for you,
To make you smile,
When you’re feeling down,
I’ll go the extra mile.

I’m here for you,
To ease your pain,
And to dry your tears,
When they fall again.

I’m here for you,
When you need me,
Right there by your side,
When you want me to be.

I’m here for you,
Always your friend,
Through good times and bad,
I’ll be there until the end…

What It Takes

Love and compassion,
Want and need,
You have what it takes,
To go where it may lead.
Faith and insight,
Knowledge and trust,
You have what it takes,
To believe love is a must.
Strength and courage,
Desire and hope,
You have what it takes,
To find a way to cope…

Feel Again

The fog has lifted,
From my confused mind,
I can think again,
I am no longer blind.
The cloud has shifted,
From my troubled heart,
I can feel again,
Love will find a new start.
The rain has drifted,
From my heavy mind,
I can think again,
The truth I can now find.
The cold has lifted,
From my frozen heart,
I can feel again,
Love will always play a part...

The Future

Don't live in the past,
Live in the here and now,
Look to the future,
And you will see it all somehow.
Don't think about the past,
Always think about today,
Think of the future,
And you will always find a way.
Don't long for the past,
Long for this day to be great,
Long for the future,
And you know it's never too late!

I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND

When you're feeling low,
And your smile is just pretend,
You feel so lonely,
I will always be your friend.
When you're feeling lost,
And don't know which way to go,
Too many barriers,
I'll be your friend, you know.
When you're feeling empty,
And there's a deep hole in your heart,
Can't find fulfillment,
I'll be your friend, from the start.
When you're feeling weak,
And so worthless is how you feel,
Those negative thoughts,
I'll be your friend, who is always real.
When you're feeling helpless,
And you feel they don't really care,
Things seem hopeless,
I'll be your friend, who is always there...

Time

Time heals the wounds,
But always leaves a scar,
It's a reminder,
Of who we really are.

Time helps the pain,
Until it eventually fades away,
Just a dull ache,
Is all that's left every day.

Time heals the heart,
Stops the bleeding deep inside,
It beats again,
And lets us find that lost pride.

Time helps the soul,
Recover from the spiritual pain,
Builds the confidence,
And helps us learn to love again...

Sharing a few more of my poems about my experiences with chronic pain. Maybe some people can relate...
:)
~Jaime~

Pain

Pain, please leave me,
Please will you just go away?
Quit haunting my every moment,
Stop bothering me every single day.
Pain, this horrible feeling,
What did I do to deserve such pain?
Why are you punishing me?
Why do you have to remain?
Pain, leave me alone,
I will not be consumed by you,
What did I do wrong?
What do I have to do?
Pain, will you continue,
To afflict my every moment?
For the rest of my life,
Or is relief being sent?
Pain, leave me be,
What will drive you away?
I don’t deserve this,
I did not ask for you in any way.
Pain, I wish I could,
Banish you to hell forever,
I will not rely on you,
I don’t believe in you ever.
Pain, stop the torture,
Release your grip on me,
Will you please stop?
All I want is to be free...

Neuralgia

This neuralgia,
What does it mean?
Headaches, dizziness,
And so much unseen.
Tingling sensations,
All around my brain,
Sensitive skin,
Often an intense pain.
It comes and goes,
Like waves on the sea,
It lets me go,
Then it just consumes me…

{©2007 Jan B.}


The Pain

The pain starts,
From a certain point,
Inside the nerves,
Deep in the spine.
The pain spreads,
Following a trail,
Through the neck,
Around the base,
And up over the skull,
Under the ears,
And across the face,
First the skin tingles,
Then it starts to burn,
The pain grows,
Sinks down deeper,
Takes over the brain,
Grips the whole head,
It becomes quite intense,
The sight is affected,
And the balance too,
Dizzy and disorientated,
Feeling so overwhelmed,
And so helpless as well,
When will it ever end…?

{©2007 Jan B.}

This Chronic Pain

Muscles so tight,
Strong spasms again,
Wanting relief,
From this chronic pain.
Nerves so touchy,
Driving me insane,
Getting desperate,
With this chronic pain.
Down every nerve,
And through every vein,
Searching the cause,
Of this chronic pain.
After many tests,
Doubts will still remain,
Seeking answers,
For this chronic pain.
On a journey,
Deep inside my brain,
Tracing the source,
Of this chronic pain.
A special scan,
So much to explain,
Reveals the truth,
Of this chronic pain…

{©2007 Jan B.}

The Nerves

The nerves,
The vital part,
Of the body,
Right from the start.
The nerves,
Feeding the brain,
Sensitive,
To all the pain.
The nerves,
The spine connects,
Communication,
Serves and protects.
The nerves,
Messages move,
Through the body,
So much to prove.
The nerves,
Carry so much,
The whole system,
Sensitive touch.
The nerves,
Muscles and bone,
Flesh and blood,
Everything you own.
The nerves,
And so much more,
Your body proves,
What life is for…

{©2007 Jan B.}

My Life Is In His Hands

My life is in his hands,
There is risk in every move,
Delicate operation,
A surgeon with so much to prove.
My life is in his hands,
Skilful surgery of the brain,
Nimble and steady hands,
Successfully curing the pain.
My life is in his hands,
Uncertainty plays a part,
But breakthrough procedures,
Helps in discovering a new start.
My life is in his hands,
Living with this disorder isn’t fun,
Life-saving neurosurgery,
It’s something that has to be done…

{©2006 Jan B.}

No One Knows

I smile a lot,
And I look so confident,
But no one knows,
That this disguise is heaven sent.
I talk clearly,
And I look in control,
But no one knows,
That deception fills my soul.
I move with ease,
And I look like I'm so sure,
But no one knows,
That fear shakes me to the core.
I act so brave,
And I look like I'm happy,
But no one knows,
How the pain is destroying me.
I fool everyone,
And I try to fool myself too,
But no one knows,
The hell I'm really going through...

Thinking Of You

Thinking of you,
In times like these,
And your battle,
With this disease.
Thinking of you,
Suffering in pain,
Every day,
It’s so insane.
Thinking of you,
More than you know,
Because I care,
When you’re so low.
Thinking of you,
When times are tough,
You’re going through,
More than enough.
Thinking of you,
More than old friends,
And this battle,
That never ends…

Love Is…

Love is like magic,
And it always will be,
For love still remains,
Life’s big mystery.

Love works in ways,
Both wonderful and strange,
And there’s nothing in life,
That love can't change.

Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with the heart,
And not with the mind.

Love is the answer,
That everyone seeks,
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.

Love can’t be bought,
It’s priceless and free,
Love is like magic,
It’s life’s big mystery!

Sorry I haven't been online much lately, have been battling with my neuralgia, and constant vertigo...making it a bit difficult to write, amid other things...:(

I Was Never...

I was never popular,
I was never part of the in crowd,
Always so quiet,
I was never cool, bold or loud.

I was never outgoing,
I was never accepted by my peers,
Always a loner,
I was always consumed by my fears.

I was never confident,
I was never a glamour queen,
No fancy dresses,
I was never one who liked to be seen.

I was never talkative,
I was never one to say too much,
No party girl,
I was one who was always out of touch.

I was never that person,
I was never what you wanted me to be,
I am myself,
And I am special because I am me!

{2008©Jan B.}
