Solace through Writing

I did not yet write today, not a line
my mind is blank, not worth a dime

all that I am is far beyond thought

are all my struggles just for naught?

the pain's so bad, my body's on fire

in cells throughout and in every fiber

it feels as though my blood is boiling

as if my muscles are tightly coiling

my throbbing head adds to the anguish

as all I can do is sit and languish

my vision is poor, sometimes I see double

I wonder, really, is it worth all this trouble?

on days like this I can't comprehend

why despite all efforts I'm not on the mend

when I'm hurting this bad there's no hope of bliss

as darkly I stare at the edge of my abyss

I see health around me wherever I look

get reminded of all that this illness took

if only a quick poem right now I could write

it might give me solace, reduce my plight

so I sit down and I write these verses

in hope that through them my mood reverses

some people may like them, some people may not

worry about tomorrow today I cannot

here's the message this poem is stressing

for me, to write is a most welcome blessing
