I don’t think anyone really reads this.

I just write for myself, I guess.

The stats on hits and views is low.

It makes me sad and a little stressed.

Writing helps me feel like I’m doing something!

Even if it’s just for me, myself and I.

Still, it’d be nice to have more views,

Or followers standing by!

I know that I can be brutally honest,

About how I’m feeling on a given day!

I don’t sugar coat or lie at all,

I just write what’s happening that day!

The truth is TN is the worst of the worst!

Also, it’s true that depression goes hand in hand!

With severe, chronic pain, depression is normal,

It’s not something I can command!

So, yes my posts might make you cry.

They may even make you doubt.

But, sadly, it’s a reality for many people, 

So accurate information must get out!

So that’s what I decided to do,

Write about my life, day to day.

It’s my way of saying this is really my life,

Even though it’s hard to live this way!

I haven’t been given a choice,

About depression or my pain.

I must take it as it comes,

Then write about it again and again!

Yes, it’s hard to live with.

Yes, it’s the most painful disease of all!

So obviously my posts can be sad,and difficult to read; 

It’s not like I’m  having a ball!

We need to find compassion!

We need more research too!

So, I’ll continue writing, 

I’ll stick to staying true!
