Not Diagnosed

I see the problem
Churning within my body
Irritating my soul
Tying my goals

I see this illness
Draining the hope in me
You're walking away
From this mess.. As I wish I could do myself

I see this disorder
Haunting me
Growing with each concern
Devouring my dreams

I see this disease
Suffocating me
Whispering these dark words
Telling me what isn't possible

Yet somewhere from inside
I laugh it off
Stress makes life interesting
I tell myself

If they can do the same
Me too

I climb those same mountains
Yet I am stronger
I am younger
I am better 

Sickness may tie me down
But my punches will only grow stronger

Hi Princess! In face of adversity we cannot afford to give in without a fight; we have to be positive and do our best. Take care. // paul

I hope that you can continue to fight. There is a great spirit in your words. To you I send an emotional "BE WELL". We have to play with the cards we are dealt. There is really no cheating in this game.
