Parkinson's Awareness

I'm fed up with this disease I've got,
would love to be healthy
but I know I'm not.
My shaking and stumbling get on my nerves 
and let me down,
when I bump into people ( literally )
when I'm shopping down town.
I'm sure this disease wont make me die
but it does occasionally make me cry.
Everyone moans because I'm so slow,
it even irritates close people I know.
Now, I'm not just having a moan in rhyme,
reason is it's ' Parkinson's Awareness ' time.
