I Am the Pain

By: Jana Christian

I'm on a quest
To relieve my pain...
On my broken body,
It's a terrible drain.

I've dabbled in drink..

And narcotics ó AND Zen.
But still I think
I'll never work again.

They say that my neck
Is so battered and bruised.
But Hey, what the heck..
It has been so abused.

From one random act
To a Worker's Comp claim.
There remains just one fact
ó I am out of the game.

And the pain starts to rip
At the base of my brain.
To my last fingertip..
And back up again.

Only sleepless nights
Are my constant friend.
GOD, this pain really bites.
Will it ever end?

My doc says 'no'...
It will just get worse.
I've tried to and fro
To escape this curse.

"Holy Water"...
that's what the doc said.
It's all there is left to relieve my head.

I am the pain, I'll say it again...
And my only refrain is..
I am the pain...it will always remain.
