I know you're working on a cure for Parkinson's.
I know you're working on a cure for fibromyalgia
I know you're working on a cure for Raynaud's

and then buzzing starts below skin
shocks shoot along veins

I hold my arm 
a different pain today

it buckles the knee 
grinds the shoulder
it burns the elbow
gnaws the hip

It takes strength, day and night
to tolerate pain, the Fibro fight
the muscle aches, damn brain fog
total exhaustion, stiff as a log

Chronic pains no joke, but I will go on....
