We may not know how to say what is on our minds
We try to form the words as we grimace through the pain
Getting fatigued and frustrated when nobody seems to understand
Trying to comprehend while trying to determine the cause
Now what are you telling me is next
Where do we go from here
I can tell you I am not feeling normal You tell me that you will be ok
Several minutes pass still we are no closer to diagnosing the problem
It has gotten worse the pain inside is different than it was before
I’ll let you run another test, secretly hoping it will be my last
What I hear you saying, is that I’ll be ok if I just go home
I didn’t want to come in and wouldn’t have if I were feeling well
It is so hard for me to speak when my body aches and I happen to catch you in the middle of a shift
Can’t we figure something out
I know that we’re in the right place
If you can’t help me tell me to my face
Sometimes it’s like a burning but now it aches
I came in hoping to get better, with each passing minute it’s getting worse
Lord Jesus, I am trying to be strong
Trying to rely on you to get me through When I am stuck with a needle I hope it will reveal answers
Trying to understand the ailment, and working on trusting you through the pain
