I am…

I am a fighter and a survivor.

I wonder how my life will turn out.

I hear pills rattle.

I see many possible futures lie ahead of me.

I want health and happiness.

I am a fighter and a survivor.

I pretend I am not sick sometimes.

I feel tired.

I touch my horses and cats.

I worry they won’t be with me long.

I cry at the thought of losing them.

I am a fighter and a survivor.

I understand the reasons why we can’t keep them.

I believe the universe has a plan for me.

I dream for a better life.  I try to keep my sanity.

I hope one day I can be normal, whatever that may be.

I am a fighter and a survivor.
