TETHERED TO A HEATING PAD
So, Here I Sit
<< // >> << // >>
So, now here I sit.
Not happy, nor sad.
I’m tethered, you see
To a Heating pad!
*
The pain is intense.
No longer an ache.
Tried all the “pain pads
The companies make.
*
The pain meds don’t work.
I’ve taken my share.
So, here I sit tethered
With heat to a chair.
*
The heat isn’t working;
It’s just making me hot.
I’m sweating profusely –
More than a lot!!
*
I’ll go to the couch,
And put up my feet.
Maybe the pain med
Will put me to asleep.
*
Just an hour or two
Might do the trick.
Just might get rid of
This backache crick!

pain every persons life it presents really good
I used to get severe back pains during my period and my hotpack was what saved me, lol! Loved your poem!
Think of pain as uncried tears, stored up in the body over the years, too many to measure, they build up the pressure, and make you old before your years. Try searching breathwork beats - Sandy on YouTube. This is a a life changing move… 15 minutes of this, followed by 15 minutes of lying down in relaxation (mind and body) daily will gift you results that you dream of. But it’s like going to the gym, you have to keep going to see those first results. I think of it like a monthly pay check… You go to work all month, see no money, but you keep going and 5 weeks later the money appears. Same same. But this is a much more important paycheck 🙏👌✨❤️
