I’m not going crazy. I’m not being lazy. Please don’t be a grouch If I want to lie on the couch And do nothing much today. Believe me when I say It’s not what you think It’s not from drugs or drink. It’s not a neurosis It’s Multiple Sclerosis. I may seem to stagger I can no longer swagger. So, understand this please I can’t command my knees. I’m fighting back day and night And I won’t give up the fight. What looks like one thing Can be a much worse thing. It’s not a neurosis It’s Multiple Sclerosis. Life is so full of challenges. The list of what the damage is Sometimes seems to outweigh The cost of living life today. But, I will not ever surrender. I must be my best defender As nobody pays my body bill. I fight despair and always will. It’s not a neurosis It’s Multiple Sclerosis.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
I’m not going crazy. I’m not being lazy. Please don’t be a grouch If I want to lie on the couch And do nothing much today. Believe me when I say It’s not what you think It’s not from drugs or drink. It’s not a neurosis It’s Multiple Sclerosis. I may seem to stagger I can no longer swagger. So, understand this please I can’t command my knees. I’m fighting back day and night And I won’t give up the fight. What looks like one thing Can be a much worse thing. It’s not a neurosis It’s Multiple Sclerosis. Life is so full of challenges. The list of what the damage is Sometimes seems to outweigh The cost of living life today. But, I will not ever surrender. I must be my best defender As nobody pays my body bill. I fight despair and always will. It’s not a neurosis It’s Multiple Sclerosis.
(This is in honor of my friend Annie and all the other sufferers from this crippling disease.)
