Everyday Struggle With a Smile of Inspiration

ice on my knees
heating pads on my back
splinters in the soles of my feet
cuts and bruises on each arm from shoulder to back hand
blisters on each toe
sunburns on my forehead and each of my cheeks
toothpicks holding both eyelids open
sneezing and coughing continuously till bedtime
tomorrow i get up and do it again
i am a celebrity to those who love me
that is all i need for full pain relief
