"This is Me"
I have a disease
The doctors tell me it’s chronic
Called Multiple Sclerosis…
It was a secret
I was not to speak a word about
Just hide it away…
So…I did that
For a very long time
Kept it to myself…
So now it’s gone
Locked deep inside me
But it is here…
Consuming my body
A little at a time
Only I know…
I look fine
It’s difficult to see
But I feel it…
An every day struggle
To keep myself from defeat
I must be strong…
I pray now
To God I beg His mercy
To keep me sane…
With His Help
I am learning to accept this disease
It is part of me now…
Finally after so long, I’m okay
I know that I am still whole
This is me…
