I Walk The Walk Of Many...But Not Many Walk The Walk Of Me! Thank God!! This tale I tell is not for pity! But more, the reason I share this tale so true; Is that; if I can survive and beat all this; Then I say it! So the hell can you! ************************************** 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 thank God, Not many walk the walk of me, For everything that could possibly go wrong, Went wrong in this body you see! Do I tell it as it is…or do I 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 stuff 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! Then there are the 17 serious operations, Yep, 17, 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 tumors grew there! The stupid surgeon didn't protect it, And didn't tell me, and that wasn't fair! 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! He told me he only puts plates in for men, In case things fall on their head! Wow, but a woman isn't important, It's ok for us to end up dead! Did I mention the osteoporosis? Wow, but my bones are wrecked! And if you don't believe me, ask me doc, Because he's had it checked! And arthritis, oh dear me, This is a pain in the rear this is true! Cos the pain it causes is insurmountable, And I wouldn't wish it on you! The cervical spine, oh dearie me, It's a mess and I tell you now, I only walk this walk with strength – Cos I'm a stubborn cow! Now yes, I could go on you know, but tell me, Would you believe it's true? Cos it seems to me it sounds far fetched, Hard to believe so only the doctors do! 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... Wll 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! Cos I'm knackerd, but 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 it's 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 walls against my back! 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 turn into ash and disappear!! For I am stronger than the Phoenix! And my strength and determination is clear! And yes, of course I cry and worry, Into my pillow of tears at night! Because each day of pain is hard to get through, But I will always fight the fight! So I laugh and have fun, and no, it's not false!! But more I shall tell it true! I will never concede and give in without a fight, Because for me, that just won't do! So when you see me laugh out loud, And giggle the night away! Know this to be so, though I have this pain; I'm happy, cos it's the only way! So no matter the list of complaints I have, And no matter the pain I bear! All I know it this, I live and accept, Because in truth, I shouldn't be here! …And So Once Again I Say It... This tale I tell is not for pity! But more, the reason I share this tale I tell so true; Is that; if I can survive and beat all this; Then I say it! So the hell can you! Every day that I wake up in pain; I thank God for my life!! It's just a matter of faith and strength! And I Have Plenty Of Both!!! Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
