Fuck this disease
This dis-ease
This dis-trust
These infantile legs that
Have the strength of
Sandcastles.
Fuck this un-ease
This un-comfort
This body that betrays me
And leaves me to fend
For myself
Alone
As my shame drips
In a puddle at my feet
Made up of my giant tears.
Fuck this dis-ability
This in-ability
This marauder that creeps
Behind shadows
Waiting. Watching.
I’m going to find you.
Fuck this dis-order
This re-order
Of my brain
That creates intricate complex
Black and white
Depictions of
Empty space
And nothing.
Fuck this.
You got it. Keep eating the right food.The toxins are in the foods and products. You can heal.
Fuck the hatred,
Fuck the flow,
Why would you diss
This body that you
Can call your own
Sure it’s not perfect
Hell, it might not even be good
But it’s yours to keep
And cherish, so look
We can get through this
This hatred will pass
Perhaps even gratitude
Can arise, so let’s raise a glass
For we are who we are
Disease included
So let’s smile to the world
Look for a better tomorrow
And thank the heavens above
This rhyming is concluded.
(I suck! Keep up the good fight!)
???? i like your poetic reminder!!
just coming off a hard day. Being consistently compassionate toward myself/my body is something that is hard for me, when things out of my control with my body/my disease mess up my day.
Trust me, I can relate!
It is at those times that we need to be reminded to keep a smile on and to look forward, as it’s exceedingly easy to have a negative attitude especially with this disease that we have.
I’m glad if it made you smile! 🙂
It did. And yes, I eventually got through it, as I akways do. Just keep swimming… Just keep swimming..
