Poem
To all the people in darkness Lemmi shed some light So that you can see into my world A world so big that sometimes I get lost in it If you've ever met me in person You were left in awe Cause I've been able to make sheer will bend to my calling, that's why I've never crumbled It's because amidst the madness I've managed to make sense of haemophilia It's a lifetime journey that I've had to learn to walk with If I didn't, I'd have died way before my story began, in '07 I can't speak for all people with genetic conditions But I can speak on the fear it paralyses you with Cause imagine juggling life and death on a daily And still, be able to go after that dream If you've ever come across anyone with health issues You'd have seen what human despair feels like When all people can do is console you And you have to find your way through it That's why I forged a different path for myself A lonely path that it's just me and my God So that even when I fall, no one is there to see And when I can no longer keep pushing, God pushes me on On this path, I've lost hope And months on met up with it again Cause even when I left it downhill, it followed me through those dark alleys When all that gets you going is a hazy image Of what the top looks like But because you've already lost everything You have nothing to lose other than keep going Somedays vultures are circling over me Looking on if I'd give into the pain But I keep puffing and wriggling Cause I've endured a lot to just give up To all the people still in darkness Lemmi shed some light on you And tell you health is the true wealth If you have that, there's no way you know what I go through Cause you can't carry my cross but everyone else walks with the cross of humanity The PO£T
