Ultimate Connectivity: 
aches and pains
Janet Kuypers 
10/7/16
Had a really heavy workload; 
months went by, 
the workload piled, 
the boyfriend was bringing me down 
and I’d wake up every day 
in so much pain, 
shoulder, elbow, back and knees — 
the pain drove me to a doctor 
and after the blood tests 
they found nothing wrong, 
but they guessed it was arthritis 
and give me really strong pills. 
They’d make me dizzy, 
they’d knock me out, 
but they didn’t relieve the pain... 
So after four months I got away — 
got away from the work, 
got away from the boyfriend. 
Enjoyed the sun and the sand 
and felt at peace again. 
And that’s when I realized 
I didn’t need that boyfriend, 
and I can handle the work 
so... I didn’t need the pills. 
And the aches and pains, 
they went away — 
and it only happened 
when I brought peace back again.
