Pain

by Boogienights

 
I am sad I'm getting older,
no surprise, we all grow old. 
Though the chronic pain I'm feeling,
well, that part just leaves me cold.
 
I can't walk the way I used to,
my arthritis takes its toll.
I feel like I'm half a person,
where I once was young and whole.
 
There's so much I'd like to try out,
I miss walking where I want.
I'm a burden in a wheelchair,
going to a restaurant
 
Or theater, or the local mall,
I rely on family.
I want to live without my pain,
trapped inside it, I'm not free.
 
Many my age also suffer,
still, there's many who do not...
Filled with sadness and self pity,
that this life is now my lot.
 
Though my life has many blessings,
I have family who love me.
There is sadness in just knowing,
can't be how I want to be.
