I Walk The Walk Of Many...But Not Many Walk The Walk Of Me... I Am Also Only Here By The Grace Of God! Tough Helps Though!! And By God I Am Tough!!! Self Pity, Sympathy? No Bloody Way Is It! I Bare My Soul, I Tell It True! So You Can See That... We Don't Give Up The Fight!! I Walk The Walk Of Many... I walk the walk that no-one would want! Tis true though you may not believe… For I walk the walk of many a person, And I wear a heart that oft will grieve! Not many will walk the walk of me though, For this I shall tell you true… If you had to walk this walk of mine, It just wouldn't do for you! Not many walk this walk I tread, My roads are harsh and all uphill, Twists and bends and curves, That won't go away with a pill! God gave me a body overloaded… With every conceivable ailment of man, But He also gave me strength so true! To face any health problem, as only I can! So yes, I walk the walk of many, But not many walk the walk of me, For everything that could possibly go wrong, They went wrong in this body you see! Do I tell it as it is? Or not? Because this is not about pity at all! Tis just about the way it is… And how a person can take a fall! So yes I will brave it and tell it, This sorry tale of mine so true, But only to show you no need to give up! Just because of health crap we go through! My heart is knackered and battered, And my bones are a total mess! The diabetes that I bear is a pain, But to look at me you'd never guess! The epilepsy that I was kindly left with! After a couple of tumors on the brain! Have caused me so much heartache, I swore I couldn't take any more pain! Then there are the 17 serious operations, Yep, that's what I said… I have to admit it here and now, Everyone's shocked that I'm not dead! My thyroid is totally diseased, And my hypertension is way too high! The cholesterol in my blood stream… Makes them wonder why I didn't die! I forgot to mention the hole in my head, Where the tumor's grew there… The stupid surgeon didn't protect it, And didn't tell me, and that wasn't fair! So there I am going through life, With ailments to kill off a horse! But yet here I am, fighting the fight! As only I could do, of course! I forgot to mention my spine… Well I'm afraid that's knackered too! Twisted and bent and all misshaped, Oh what a fine to-do! Anyway, were was I? Oh yes, This knackered body of mine! Well this is just to tell you true! Apart from all that, I'm perfectly fine! Then again, if it wasn't for the wheelchair, I guess that I'd look great! Then again, I aint all that bad, Cos am always being asked for a date! So looking at me in the chair, Is the only sign that something's wrong, And no way am I going to spill the beans! I'm knackerd, but I'm way so strong!!!! So I fight the good fight every day, And make my life as good as I can… Cos after all, when said and done… I am my only number one fan! Tis because I am stronger than strong! And anyway, there's a reason I'm tough! For I am the Phoenix that rises! I never stay down when its rough! I am the Phoenix, I surpass all tests, The test being the test of a life in strife! For they all tell me my body's failing, I shouldn't still have my life! And yep, I have to agree with them, For my auto immune is under attack! It can't cope with the health stuff, And the wall's against my back! But… Then as the Phoenix bursts into flame, And the ashes start to show… To rise again from those ashes… That's not how I will go! For I will burst into flame as the Phoenix, But I ‘won't' burn into ash and disappear!! For I am stronger than the Phoenix! And my strength and determination is clear! I 'AM' Stronger Than The Phoenix… Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
