Waiting, And Waiting, And Waiting!!!I'm waiting and waiting for this night to pass! So I can go and see my doctor and say… ‘I need help, these meds aren't working! And I'm far from feeling ok! Now I do well with pain you know! Actually, I'm as tough as can be! For my pain all over is 24/7 Not a minutes respite for me! But I deal with it, and it's very hard, But you see, I look at it this way… For me its do or die, and so I fight, Fight to wake up every single day! My bones are all but a crazy mess, Cos my spine's breaking up all over! So yes, I have to admit it's true! My life is certainly no bed of clover! My heart is knackered too you know, I've diabetes and epilepsy too! Thyroid disease, and so much more, But to look at me, you wouldn't think it true! Well, ok, the bones are kaput all over! And I can't hide the wheelchair that I'm in, So that's one problem I can't hide at all! And that's why I'm fat, not thin! But my hubby says I'm not fat at all! But he loves me to bits, I know! So he thinks that I'm perfect… I just wish this fat would go! I guess that if I'm really honest, It's not really true that I'm fat! It's just all the operations I've had… Have wrecked me, so it's hard to accept that! But it's MY life, and I only have one! And I'd like it to last for a while longer! So every day I live with this pain, And the fight always makes me stronger! I'm not one to give up the struggle! No way is that true of me! That's cos there's too many people in my life, Who need my love and support you see! And if that sounds like I'm bragging, I'm not, that's just the way it is! I am emotionally strong and can support, Even though it's not physically! Cos this body of mine is knackered, Oh yes, it's falling apart at the seams! And they tell me that a life of bliss, Will forever be in my dreams! People in my life ask me why… …and how I survive each day, When they say, they couldn't do it! And to them, this is what I say! ‘When you walk my walk, you will know, That at the end of every day, You will be glad that you're still here! Even if things aren't really ok!' But I have to tell it as it is, Because the life I have, has to be, Because if I changed one thing in my past, I wouldn't be as I am you see! What doesn't kill us makes us stronger! My life of pain is better than no life for me! So every day that I wake up in pain! Tells that I am here another day! And thank my God for it all! You see, I am only here by the grace of He.
