It's not easy,
it's not fair.
It's painful,
it's despair.
*
The struggles,
the ache.
The thousand pills to take.
*
The tremors,
the numbness,
a constant reminder.
*
The fear,
the tears,
a loyal companion.
*
The appointments,
the doctors,
a new norm.
*
Part of the one percentile,
A disease so uncommon,
it's hard to explain.
*
It's different,
it varies.
no two patient show the same symptoms.
*
Sentence for life,
Unimaginable doing this alone.
*
She hugs me,
supports me.
holds my hand when I'm weak.
*
She distracts me,
uplifts me.
Keeps me safe when I sleep.
*
Together,
by her side,
I'm unstoppable.
*
Our future,
our plans,
our children to meet.
*
I'll be brave,
I'll be strong,
I'll overcome.
*
For her,
for our child,
but most of all FOR ME.
