My Fight

It was just this last week.. When the words, they did flow For the first time, in lifetimes, it seems. But instead of the hurt, and the pain and the guilt; My words now penned, are words full of dreams For the last many years, up and down I have been. Getting better then worse all that time. Knowing not what I had; Nearly giving up hope I discovered a name; It was Lyme Lyme has stolen from me; things I’ll Never get back. Took my body and mind straight to Hell And a deal I’d have made With the devil himself To get out of the hell which I fell But instead of the devil, The deal I would make Where at last I was starting to see Though it took me awhile, Many years if I’m straight Found the REAL answers inside of me. For what Lyme disease taught me through years of despair . I am stronger than I ever thought And at least for today, I am winning again Had to fight for my life; So, I fought!
