I can barely breathe in,
Where do I begin,
Keep smiling on,
Even when they have all gone,
Look around,
The silence is a haunting sound,
Far away,
Inside your body they play,
My mind rages and spreads around my face,
You still hold a conversation with grace,
People come and open up to you,
Telling you their own stories about what they have been through,
My stomach lining feeling beyond sore,
I can’t take much more,
Every plate finished with ease,
You expected this to be more of a breeze,
Everyday a new fight,
Being checked on every 5 minutes in the night,
Your joints and burning heightening as the days go by,
Dealing with them alone you try not to cry,
You still talk,
It’s getting harder to walk,
Outside seems a distant memory now -unknown to you,
This never ending hell you are going through,
Family and friends forever on my mind,
Within me determination you will find,
Eat, eat, eat,
Just does my heart continues to beat,
Chest pains,
Due to the intolerances and strains,
Scary and what can you do,
when you they just see through you,
You cry alone,
Aching to the bone,
Waiting to see the sun,
Not wanting to miss out on Christmas fun,
You dream of family time,
Eating and having an good old jolly time,
I will be there,
Any hell I can bare,
My body weak,
It’s been bleak,
Even if I don’t feel strong,
I have battled all along,
Rising when I have felt I have fallen down,
Smiling when I want to frown,
Here I am and I stand before you,
Would you have fought what I am I going through?
