Wife Sick and Tired
She’s sick and tired.
Lots of bunk time.
Reading.
Listening to music.
Aching shoulders, lower back.
Fibromyalgia?
Doctors say
It’s just a head game.
Nothing to prescribe.
Nothing to give
Except sneering looks.
Wife commits to rest and prayer.
Getting there.
And soon…
Beachball tossed in the Air.
About this poem
Based on a true life account. When hopelessness tried its best. Fibromyalgia.
