Day 203: 5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday - Prompt: Back Pain
This is my 5-minute freewrite for the Day 203: 5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday - Prompt: back pain. You can follow along by adding #freewrite tag to your daily search.
I’ve got a back pain that’s ruining my plans
It hurts when I sit,
And it hurts when I stand.
I need to laundry and dishes and dust,
But this pain in my back has got me feeling stuck.
It is quite saddening, and a little maddening;
That it has been here all morning,
And it doesn’t make my posture flattering.
I’ve taken a pill, but it did not help at all.
I could reach to the side, but I feel like I may fall.
I’ve got to get moving but this pain it keeps growing.
I am not knowing how long this pain will be showing.
It’s all in my mind, that’s what they say,
So maybe if I try I can wish it away.
Nope that’s not happening so maybe I’ll rest,
And just tell the others that I did my best.
My back is important, and I can’t tell it no.
I’ll have to seek heat because my back pain said so.
I’ll see if tomorrow will be any better;
See if I’m stiff as a board, or light as a feather.

Thanks to @snook for this super cool gif!
Ouch! A painfully good poem, Simgirl! Ever notice that those who say that pain is "all in your head" tend to forget that some people have REALLY strong minds? I know when my back hurts, I walk around hunched over like Quasimodo... Here's to hoping that tomorrow is one of the "light as a feather" days for you! 🤗
Thank you! Seems like my day stops if my back hurts! I always feel bad for those who have to have back surgery. "Your spine is your life line- keep it healthy!" is what one of my exercise video instructors say!
