Analysis of Fibro warrior

E.S. Conway 1985 (United Kingdom)



Some days life seems hard,
Others merely long,
Sometimes I feel life's a joke,
Where everything goes wrong.
Some days it seems I'm happy,
Though rarely this is true.
I just keep my feelings to myself,
There's no need to bother you.
Some days are a struggle,
And though strong as I may be,
You cannot see the inner fight,
That rages constantly.
Some days I may seem normal,
Like anyone you know,
But normal is a mask I have,
That is regularly on show.
So do not doubt the pain I feel
It never goes away,
Pain and torment live inside
I fight them every day.

E.S. Conway

A poet by proxy of therapy. Her works (with only a couple of exceptions) are comprised of poems written in a form of therapy diary, they served for several years as an aid to dealing with situations that may or may not be within the poems themselves. This is also the reason for so much rhyming; though not necessary for poetry, it was part of what made poetry therapeutic for her and so is an almost certain constant. more…
