Living with a disease
Every moment of every day…
Telling my heart not to dwell
For what in my future might be held
Often feeling alone with this constant never ending fight…
Trying to live a balancing act…
That which is my life
Poking myself with needles…
Everyday… just to keep myself alive
Drops of blood from my finger tips…
Sometimes brings tears to my eyes
Some things people take for granted
For my life I cannot do
Everyone around me oblivious…
To my pain…
To my struggle too
Always thinking about my mortality…
The day when this disease may take my life
I have so much to live for
My loved ones are my smile
God blessed me with this journey
I do cherish it so…
Tomorrow I will continue on
the fight for my life will go on…
