My Plight

One thing that I'm starting to see I have a hard road ahead of me Which makes me smile part of the time For I just left a hard road behind As I try to write through my pounding head I swear I feel like the walking dead It's all very strange like a "Creature of the Sea" As I battle this monster inside of me Somedays are bad others are worse Yet I feel many Blessings will follow this curse It's not the length of the battle but character of the man As I'm driven to offer all that I can See curses are blessings covered in disguise We must learn to accept them to ever be wise Everyday my wife tells me, "Please just rest" Yet she deserves my very best So each day I do all I possibly can Tell me am I wrong to be a man Today I was compelled to try and write For it's not only my blessing it's also my plight
