I Am

Symptoms are not who I am Disease is not my name Medication is not your fix-it-up And treatments are not your game My body is not your fieldwork This machine that lets me live My mind is not that experiment It has yet plenty thoughts to give Do you know what? Choices routine and home Those aren't yours Please leave me alone I don't want to take a test Or endure such pokes and pills I have enough going on Without those wrecking side effect chills Listen to my feeling Of why I chose not intervention You'll understand my voice If you have the right intention Grace and God. Beauty and life! This is me! Potential Power Prosperity Third grade teacher, bird watcher, world traveler Piano player, pastry baker, flower planter I am with my family!
