Fibromyalgia Poems

Still Alive

Bethan Bourne

I may be constantly fatigued

I may be a walking zombie

I may be unable to keep up

But I’m still alive

I may be in constant pain

I may struggle sometimes

I may cry a lot

But I’m still alive

I may live at the doctors

I may forget what’s important

I may feel useless sometimes

But I’m still alive

I am a 30-something living with chronic illnesses, and started this blog when I was first diagnosed with fibromyalgia back in 2018 at the age of 24. A published historical fiction author with an MA in Medieval Studies, I love theatre and perform in a musical theatre society. I recently became a mum to a beautiful baby boy.

  1. And sharing your experience will help others – you’re more than just alive. But I understand the gratitude that you need to remind yourself of over and over, day after day, in pain and suffering, that just waking up to see a new day is a gift. Hugs to you! 💕
