I AM - 2nd. poem about MS

[Guest guest]

I

AM

I

am woman,

I

am me,

Slightly

changed,

But

am still free,

To

love, to laugh,

To

hold, to hug,

To

rise above this thing – MS

Am

I defeated?

Do

I retreat?

Back

seat reservations made for me?

While

others sing,

While

others dance,

I

choose to accept and not to wallow,

To

beat my drum to my own tempo,

And

dance the steps made just for me,

And

sing my song so others can see,

That

there is hope,

It

has begun!

MS

– we have you on the run!
