Fibro Warrior
My limbs burn with pain
My head feels heavy
The hue of melancholy
Is upon me
As I bemoan my fate
Of continuously fighting
This foe
Who steals away
My strength, my energy
What moral right
Does this disease
Have to take
Away my life
And bring such strife
I do not know
But
I take back
My inner strength
Putting unknown
Untapped energy
Back into
My core
For I know that
I will not surrender
To melancholy
I will fight
With everything I am
To appear normal again
To continue living my life
To the fullest
To be happy
To achieve
My goals
Despite the pain
For I am
A warrior at heart
This battle I shall win
No matter the time
To survive another day
Without pain.
With energy to spare.
