Lupus

Lord my heart my heart 
I’m crying out in so much pain
My joints swelling up
My face developed butterflies a rash
I’m weak can’t move can’t get out the bed
Lord I know you don’t put no more 
No more on me than I can bare
But my skin developed ulcers and sores
The world looking at me like a circus freak
My thoughts in distress on a daily 
In and out the hospital my organs 
My body attacking my organs 
My bones breaking like paper 
Lupus attacking my bones
Lord I know we don’t suppose to question you 
But why me? Why I’m suffering?
I know everything happens for a reason
I’m a good person nobody knows
Knows my struggle know my pain
Lupus is a disease I wish go away
Lupus I pray they kill and cure you
You affecting too many people I know  
Thousands across the nations 
Destroy the souls of too many




In a loving memory of Tiffany Clark
This also for everyone who is battling this disease or is affected by the disease.
I love you in your in my daily prayers… GOD BLESS
