I am afraid I am alone I am unknown I am labelled Labelled 'Damaged' Did I damage myself? No, fate did that Can I atone? Atone? For what? A disease that differs for one and all. I know what I am, but choose not to take the moniker, 'sufferer'. Yes, I hurt, I tire, I cry, but I cannot explain, and you, you cannot empathise, you don't have MS, the broken smile. I look whole, but I'm a jigsaw with a missing piece. That piece is peace. Peace of mind, peace for my loved ones, peace for me. I know I'm a person, I know I have MS I know I'm loved, I know I'm a ***** I know I'm part of a family, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and most importantly Wife. I will be whatever the fates decide. I will not be a sufferer. I will not give up. I will be loved.
