"What do you See?"
What do you see
When you look at me?
Am I still the person
I used to be?
Or do you see disease
Taking over me
In my head, my heart
Almost all of me…
Can you see the pain
I learned to hide so well
Or feel the feelings
I seldom tell?
Can you understand the anguish
That threatens my soul
Or understand the reasons
I am no longer whole?
Can you try to comprehend
How MS takes its toll
Affecting my entire body
Where I lose control…
I don’t have any answers
But please try to realize
This disease that binds me
Is not a disguise…
MS made me different
A struggle each day
But I’m much better you see
Because finally I’m free…
