How would it be

How’s it going to be when I walk and talk a little faster

How would it be going up and down stairs in a breeze

And walking in the park

How would it be

walking hand-in-hand around the mall and around town

Opening doors for you and pulling out your chair

How’s it going to be

Not falling and meeting the floor again and again

Raising fear and being picked up

How would it be

Without a wheelchair

Without a walker

Without a cane

How would it be with no PT, OT and physiologist needed

How would it be

With clear vision and no optic neuritis

no TN pain

No spasticity

How would it be

With no sudden urgency and

No tremors and Eating with your dominant hand smoothly

No sitting breaks all the time

How would it be

Carrying in groceries and putting them away

No walker with a tray

How would it be

With no wife working three jobs In hopes to make ends meet

How would it be

Not being carried and helped up and down stairs

How would it be

Not needing medication to manipulate your immune system

To have your body not attack itself

How would it be

with no pillow between your knees and walking straight

Going to sleep with no fear of getting worse

How would it be

Not to need a reacher and to bend down without your knees coming together

How would it be

Not to furniture and wall surf

But have great balance instead

How would it be

Not to have cold and heat sensitivity

To drive again

How would it be

With no MS

Cause I wouldn’t know

Well written, well expressed. Would you have been able to write so well if you didn’t have ms? On a positive note, you have explained ms well. 👍

Thank you so much and to answer your question I would have to say probably not. I thought you would respond and I looked forward to it. I also know that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to explaining MS. It was good timing when I wrote this poem, because it is MS awareness month after all.

Another interesting point to make is how many people have replied to this poem with “Wow” being the first word.

Your writing tells the story of MS.

It really does, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg, sadly. As I know you already know first hand.

Not what you're looking for?
