Endometriosis

This pain is not my fault 
I was just unlucky
It brings my life to holt
Each stabbing pain, twisting ache
Strikes as hard as a lightening bolt
This cramping is so hard to shake 
Endometriosis is its name
We're not playing this is no game
It takes away so many things 
Each person its sorrow it brings
To know what we go through
If you only knew 
You see sometimes we can't do much 
Apart from lay in the fetal position 
People judge as such 
Oh she has that condition 
Never fully understanding just what it takes to paint her face
And show the world she's not a waste of space.
So to you fellow endo sisters 
Out there 
Your not your illness
Your beautifully flawed and are so very strong
We are here for each other in this mess
I'm sorry this poem is very long 
So I hope these words have helped you know. Each time you get told your lazy, making it up 
go and prove them wrong 
We are survivors and we know 
That this awareness for this condition should grow 

From one endo sister to another with love ??????
