From a fellow asthmatic

My asthma is apart of me

Although you can not see,

People think it's just anxiety.

When it flaire's you can't walk, run or climb the stairs,

Without getting pain or no air.

It's hard not easy

To always be so wheezy,

Can't get enough air

Feels like being squeezed by a big bear.

Paler and paler or reder and reder

Unless you take your inhaler.

If your breathing isn't right

It's an ambulance with their blue lights

Steroids to swallow there's 8 in total

Inhalers and nebulisers to make you feel better

You can't see it

But it's definitely a monster killer

If you leave it untreated.

But this is life unfortunately

I'm afraid there's no cure so we Just be managed.

And this is my asthma and it's apart of me.
