Hello to my fellow MSers, I hope you’re all doing well.
YI haven’t been on here for sometime and after being diagnosed in 1994 with relapsing MS I am now secondary progressive which I’m trying to navigate.
I was asked to write a letter or poem to my MS during therapy and would like to share this with you all:
F*** you MS !
I look forward with glee to the plans that I make
And all you can do is take take take
I want to, I’ll do it, I just need to push !
But no, not allowed, my spirit you crush
My energy you drain time and time again
Leaving me with only exhaustion and pain
I feel so jaded and that my head’s an empty space
When I look in the mirror I can see it in my face
My hopes and dreams have all turned to dust
Stamp on them, deny me them if you must
My memory, my thinking, trying to work things out
Are all marred by you, leaving me in doubt
Will my head ever clear and be as I was
You’ll not let that happen cos you are the boss
I hate you, I loathe you, you’ll not let me be
Can you not just leave me and let me be free
To be independent, spontaneous and do as I please
Yet again, not allowed, you’ll not give me ease
For all that you’ve done and all that you’ll do
I’ll never give in, so MS F*** you
