Osteo-Arthritis Please Find A cure
I dread the nights
arthritis pain from 2018
life hasn’t been the same
can’t sleep
pain from toes to knee
I pray every night
please God, save me
The clock don’t care
it ticks right through
each hour sharp
each breath askew
I shift, I sigh
but there’s no peace
no warmth, no end
no sweet release
The sheets feel like a weight of stones
the silence hums inside my bones
no cure, no balm, just worn-out cries
and promises beneath closed eyes
I dread the nights
and still they fall
no warning sound
no mercy call
I live between the hurt and hope
too tired to fight, too numb to cope
I pray every night
please God, save me
from this prison
draped in skin
where pain begins
and sleep can’t ever win

I know it well! You can do it, you are Strong! Xx
Praying 4 you Marie! Cryotherapy (a freeze chamber) may help. It took the arthritis pain out of my knees.
Informative, nice work 👏🏻
I feel your pain, Marie, have it in my hands.
