Zing! lightening strikes, from my ear down my jaw!

Zap! did someone just stab me with an ice-pick??

Sizzle! how did that hot iron appear on my face?

Jab! this time did someone jab me with a burning stick?

Some days it’s so exhausting,

You just want to curl into a ball!

Rocking back and forth in fetal position.

This damn pain makes me feel so small…

They don’t truly understand. 

What the pain is really like.

They say, “oh, I know how you feel”

Right!  Go take a f…ing hike!

This disease takes over your life,

While the meds take over your brain.

They’re called, “stupid pills” for a reason!

I think I may be going insane!!

No, you can’t fix me.

All I ask for is patience and space. 

You will never truly understand what it’s like,

Living with TN assaulting my face!!
