A Low Pain Threshold

I hate when pain wakes you out of bed, I love my sleep and like so many people do not get enough.  So sleep is precious , so to be interrupted by pain is like the final straw.  I realise I am fortunate that the pain I have encountered in my life have been controlled by over the counter  drugs.  I cannot imagine how people with more serious health issues cope, my heart goes out to them, I recognise and acknowledge their bravery.

I don't know how everyone copes with pain

I know we are all different

No two the same

I have a low threshold

This is what I know

I am reaching for something

So I don't have pain no mo’

I then sit and wait for it to work

Trying to concentrate on something else

Then desperately scanning the shelf

Looking for a combination that I can take

Then giving up not wanting to overdose

Pain has you feeling so morose

Thinking of chopping of the offending limb

The  arm, the  leg maybe the  head

Fortunately by the time you reach these thoughts

The pain has subsided of course
