CAN YOU REALLY IMAGINE
I sit and cry and wonder why Things turned out this way I feel so sad, and angry some times Wishing for a pain free day
I don't want to climb a mountain I don't want to run a race I want to live my life 'normally' Be a parent not only in name But play with my children With a smile across my face
I need to be free from this 'condition' But I know that will never be This illness has taken a hold of my life I'm like a rat in a trap That can't get free
Don't ever stand and judge me The pain is so intense and so real Don't stand in denial You can see my tears The strain is etched upon my face Can you really imagine the way I feel
