Why do they call it Progressive
By lisa hannigan
twitching, turning,
Moving a lot.
My symptoms’ are returning
This is not
The answer I sought
To regress is not progress.
In the morning
Stiff and sore.
My feet feel like lead
on the floor.
My Fear unsaid
To regress is not progress.
Uncontrolled movement
Dystonia, and masking
Symptoms ,not achievements
Again I’m asking
Why is it progress to regress?
My voice soft and low
Each new level , just more meds
I work hard to be this slow
Each new level , just more dreads
One thing I know
To regress is not progress.
