Just An Illness.

I don't want it to be rememberd,
I want it to be forgot,
These people never forget,
Is it just because they care a lot?,

I fear of falling a sleep,
When know ones there by my side,
But I tell them I'm okay,
But that's just another lie,

What I've gone through,
I learned to be tough,
To not cry in front of everyone,
To not give up,

Though some day's may be hard,
For this illness may start to scar,
But I stop to think,
Of other people in need,
Who may have something worse than me,

So I look at my family,
I smile without a word,
Even thoughthey all can tell,
That today it hurts,

I don't want this to be rememberd,
I want this to be forgot,
These people never forget,
For now I'm still in the same spot.
