Pain/Ilness The Fight Of Your Life Pt. I
----------------------------------------------
Dragging you down
Encasing your heart
Pulling you under
Refusing to depart
Everything looks bleak
Surrounding you with doubt
Screaming inside your head
It won't let you out
Ongoing battles
Never receding
Sinister thoughts
Grow into believing
Rationality is lost
As you struggle to survive
Sanity weakens
Pushing reality aside

The Fight Of Your Life Pt. II
-----------------------------------------------
Sunk in depression
All looks bleak
Nothing matters
Inside you feel weak
Trying so hard
Your mind attacks
Survival instincts
Start to fight back
Taking you inward
Refusing to loose
Urging you onward
Garnering weapons to use
Gradually the demons
Lie crumpled in defeat
Enemies of the mind
Start to retreat

The Fight Of Your Life Pt. III
-----------------------------------------------
Many hours of struggle
Inside your weary soul
Now all lay behind
Depression lost its hold
Sanity was reclaimed
Visions no more haunt
Inner voices heard
Can no longer taunt
Turning yourself around
Onward you now run
Rising from the wreckage
Your personal battle won
I really have to commend you for your positive attitude about your situation...I've read a few of these poems you wrote about the Lupus and they are so sad, it makes me angry that you have to endure such a tribulation, but you are doing a wonderful job. I am one of the many people who are proud of you!
