I Am a Survivor

Allthough it has taken at times allmost Dying...      For whatever you may believe...
Maybe the best way for me to describe what it is that has happened to me is..
God, or Higher Power, whatever you believe it is...              Had to just Knock me on my butt 
and show me...             It has taken awhile for me to see...              Stop...         
you must not attempt to live without my illness (M.S.) changing my life when I got away with 
not much illness...               Yes, I survived my life with a Monster that tried to Kill me...        
Many, Many times...              I escaped with my boys, and just 41 Healed Fractures...    
Head to toe...                   But I made the stupid choice to start doing Drugs...
It helped me forget...              My Past with so much Horror and Physical Pain...    and that I 
Made it out...          Only to be diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis...             I can only be 
Honest...             I made these choices...                  Mostly in selfness...             Sadly, I 
tried to get away with whatever I could...                So I needed God to do what He had to...
It took...                    Putting my Best Friend...        In jail for me to get clean for... 
and Me getting so ill...         Almost Dieing because of My Stupidity...              
To show me the mistakes I made...         and was making...          It got me Clean...
From Drugs, smoking, and just Parting like I was O.K....                 and Showing what you 
give out will come back to you....          Whether you believe, Karma....         Yin Yang...
Either way it's eaiser to explain it...                  All I can do is tell you what I was shown... 
Just always remember, what you give out...       Will come back to you!
