Step For the Change

I went into the room cold dark and afraid When I came out I needed aide Nothing in my life was ever going to be the same The doctor put it out on the table and the odds were weighed The pain burned inside of me like a hot flame If I had another option I would gladly take the trade The rest of my life I will now have this scar I would rather be laying on a beach somewhere down south Beautiful I am not anymore by far I can hardly keep anything down by mouth I just want things back the old way When times were happy and all smiles I just don't know what too say Now I mean nothing than a few names on some medical files Make me feel beautiful and wanted again
