JUST DON'T

Don't call me a hypochondriac--
Or say it's all in my mind.
Don't laugh about me behind my back--
I don't deserve it and it's unkind.

I can't enjoy some of the
Things I used to do.
Insomnia is part of this--
So I'm tired a lot too.

I've told Dr's about this,
They say that's too bad.
They tell me to take Tylenol--
Doesn't work, never has.

I don't want narcotics, or
Something that will cause me
Health problems somewhere else--I
Just want to know what and why--what's the key?

It's not fun to have such
Pain that you sit and cry
At night so no one sees.
Others hurt much worse than I.

I'd just like some answers,
Not be patronized or blown off.
I'm not trying to be a whiner, I've been
On this ride all my life--I just want off.
