Suffering In Silence

I live in physical pain each and everyday;
I had a terrible fall and now unfortunately live this way.

I need to have a certain type of surgery, to fix this agony;
I lose my mind and always my sanity.

My knee is swollen and twice its size;
The pain just makes me want to cry.

Every three months, I get my knee drained;
It feels a little better, but I still complain.

The doctor gives a shot of a type of steroid;
It helps for a few weeks, but I still get so annoyed.

For some people, they get lots of relief;
But for me, it is still an annoying grief.

I am getting closer to my decision;
Because living in pain, is almost like prison.

I just need people that will step up and help me;
My life is so complicated, I just wish they would see.

My mother cannot help me, because she is older;
Unfortunately, it will take too much time, so I will just cry on her shoulder.

I beg and cry for some type of medicine;
The doctor gives me all of this information.

The doctor tells me the shots are the medication;
This is what I struggle with all these complications.

Hours and hours with ice on my knee;
I suffer in pain and wish I was free.

The recovery time is at least 8 weeks;
With lots of therapy that will make me feel week.

I will be in the hospital for at least a week;
Then off to rehab to learn all these walking techniques.

I pray and I hope that somebody will help me;
Because I live in pain, with so much agony.
