Devastated and debilitated, fitteen years ago
As CFIDS/ME, FMS,Addison Disease, and Hypothyroidism
Slowly plaguing away inside my body
Besides daily pains and aches; devastating fatique
And, ah, that heavy "Brain Rog" never lifts,
There are emotional, financial ones too

Do I just lay down and be defeated?
Feeling forever helpless and hopeless?
Let illness eat away my mind, body, and soul?

NO!NO!!NO!!!
Life is about making choices
Must fight on with all my might
Never give in my spirit in spite
Life has to mean something to me
Regardless health challenges

So what? this so-called 'normal' life no longer
Let go of the past, I started anew
One day at the time, baby steps I take
Creating with passion and pride

I made my choice to 'live', instead of merely 'exist'
I AM LIVING MY LIFE!I AM ALIVE!!!
