How I Feel Today - Refrain

I lie prostrate on my bed,  breathless and afraid,
Emotions fly through my head, feel dismayed,
Forsaken by God even though I prayed
                                       I weep for the tomorrow's  I will not see

A smile lit up my face, doctors want to try a new something
A break through in medical science needs testing
Would I agree they say, I said I will try anything
                                       Looks like God listened after all

My destiny now lies in the hands of science
Feeling gross but will stay compliance
Will get better, I mentally say in defiance
                                      Tomorrow is just another day

I cry out as the drug brings pain to the surface
A rash appears, itching, red, inflaming the epidermis
Am I allergic to this wonder drug, I dont need this 
                                      I awake feeling better,  I give thanks.
