Woke up again to agonising pain
4.30am as if a daily sickening alarm call
Enough time passed for last night's medication
To leave me like a slighted guardian angel
This angry nerve by the name of sciatic
This debilitating condition is no amateur dramatic
Slipping a disc onto me will you?
Do you know who I am?
I have friends
Back, hip, buttock, thigh, knee, calf and foot
I laugh in the face of your desperate tears
Is that all you can fight back with?
The medics have heard it all before
Another holder of a low pain threshold
Try this, do that. sort yourself out
A five minute walk leaves a raging inferno
The limb seeks revenge for this testing temerity
There's always someone worse off than you
Self pity wins no friends
This means nothing when trapped in a moment of desperation
Got to find a way
Got to find the signpost to health
I've got to
