My Poem on Ataxia

[4Heavenly]

Again I reveal my inner thoughts as to how I feel for what I have been going through this past few years. As you may have read my first thoughts on my Ataxia called "Burdens and Woes" I now have new thoughts to share with all who are in the same spot as myself.

My Changing Days

My life has been changing, I'm lost in the dark.

Uneasy with knowing just where should I start.

So many questions on what falls ahead. Not

knowing the answers gives me feeling of dread.

Being told so much that I should be doing this or

coping with others who tell me to do that.

So many demands from others who are there

But, how can I hurt them knowing they care.

I know God is working on me to see if I know,

what is in store for me someday he will show.

for now I stay with those I love so true

helping me through the days with what I can’t do.

My frustrations are growing I am getting confused

My insides keep fighting to keep strong, do not lose.

Each day there are changes I accept as they come,

Making me feel lonely , uncomfortable and numb!

As time passes by I grow farther apart,

Losing what once seemed close to me now hurting my heart.

Nothing can change how awful life becomes,

It's better I backoff now rather then hurt someones heart.

I feel so alone as if no one is near,

theres nothing one can say to releave all my fears

To live my life like this was unexpected

I feel as if I have no choice at this point

but to feel alone and rejected.

I think it's a really heartfelt poem. Thankfully I have moved on from these feelings, most of the time. But my thoughts were the same. I hope you too manage to work through this phase and start to see things more positively.

Take care
