MS Life

Suzie Sperzel 1959 (IN)

Rhymed
Headache and brain fog
Is only the start
Legs are so heavy
I can barely get them apart

Dizziness and blurred vision
Are two more joys of the day
Muscles get stiff making me
In one spot wanting to stay

Then comes the time
For me to go pee
With my mobility issues
Its really hard for me

My legs don't allow me
To walk anymore
My feet, ankles and knees
Are always very sore

I guess this is my MS life
Although it seems unfare
I am very blessed
Because I'm still suckin air
