Believe Me Or Not

 Anyone listening? I search for relief!

 I don't think my doctors care.

 The pain and fatigue are beyond their belief.

 I'm treated like FM's not there.

 I try not to grumble, gripe and complain.

 It bothers my family and friends.

 So where do I turn and how do I cope?

 Depressed and pain is a 10

 I've got to admit sometimes I lose hope.

 And yet I must rein it in.

 "You must not give up. Keep plugging." I say.

That even falls on deaf ears.

So the next time you ask me "How're you, by the way?"

Guess what - I'll tell you my dears!

"I hurt all the time but what bothers me most? "

I've gathered the nerve tell.

Whether doctor, plain folks who believe it's a hoax.

You can just go straight to --uh----- well-------

After all, I may be living with FM and you may not believe in it, but I'm still a LADY!
