Life And Multiple Sclerosis

Lethargic and weak, your body constantly outfoxed

If you exert your arms, they get painful electric shocks

Frustrated of sitting up so you rest back

Eventually your body responds like it was brutally attacked

Any light touch that caresses you on your left side

Never fails to cause a tightening and your body feels solidified

Done long enough the tightening grabs your lung, stomach and heart

Makes you feel like someone is taking them out and pulling you apart

Unable to run from any sudden downpour of rain

Languish inside your house on most days and there you remain

The sun burns like a branding iron, though your body is numb

I know of days you’ll feel better but there’s no rule of thumb

Patch of burning sensation randomly scatters

Life you once lived athletically, no longer matters

Eyes that were once sharp and could find a dog’s flea

Stares long at floral bouquets but no color’s there to see

Can’t stand too long your back splits with pain

Lumbar neuralgia that’s relieved when you sit again

Every time you bend at the neck your legs start to ring

Ringing like a pipe gonged or a plucked guitar string

Once you get used to a particular neural episode

Some new deception starts and your emotions feel to explode

If ever there were a way to fight these effects

Spend some time with the Father and MS isn’t half as complex
