Pain, Pain....Go Away

by Joan Serratelli

April showers may bring May flowers
and water is important for our bodies to thrive
It's one of our most basic elements
I've been taught all of this and I understand

But everytime it rains,
I hurt
My body screams in pain
I'll take a sunny day
over a rainy one
any day of the week.

I know I'm being selfish
but I don't really care
please forgive me,
but I just can't take the pain

Let the flowers whither
and the ground dry up
I, myself, am sitting here
praying for a long protracted drought!

A fairly common phenomenon for those who suffer from various aliments, especially previously broken bones. Powerfully expressed.
