The Journey

Sitting here alone once again with
only my thoughts
Reflecting over the things in life
that matter most and can’t be bought
The things I could once do so many
years ago before that day
The devastating day when my life changed
forever and I heard that doctor say
Those two words that would forever
change my life and my way
Multiple sclerosis, oh no, not me I’m fine
things like that happen to others, not me
Let me go home and wait a while
and all of you will see
My family were all so sad and crying
acting like I had been given a death sentence and were dying
But yet, my brain not yet processing what was ahead but deep down, I knew I would never give up and stop trying
My mind could not comprehend what lies ahead
All the lonely painful days and
nights lying in bed
The numbness, the tingling, my feet and legs on fire
My body not knowing yet how easily and soon it would tire
My head feeling as if it would explode
Feeling at anytime that my mind and body would implode
All this time, feeling so isolated like no one would ever understand my pain
While all the time I was doing everything I could just to stay sane
Feeling so isolated but yet so loved, feeling I was carrying the load alone with no support
My mind and body wanting so badly to abort
But in my heart, all along I knew God had a plan
Alone never would I stand
My MS journey had just begun
Thinking I would have no one but I knew through the hard times I would always have my son
I would push through the hard and painful times with a smile
Knowing my MS journey would last longer than a while
It will last until I die unless there’s a cure
But always my heart and my family’s love remains pure
I will fight with all my might and not
be defined or defeated by this terrible disease
That is the only thing that now
puts my troubled mind at ease
