Subject: My Shadow

I found this poem like the first week after my dx. I

don't remember

the website and didn't write the author's name, I don't even

remember if it had a name attached to it or not. I don't mean to

plagerize, but this really helped me alot. Some of you may have

heard/read it somewhere already, but some may have not.

My Shadow

I was going about my work

When the dark shadow began to lurk

It lingered into my routine

Staning everything that once seemed clean

It engaged my nerves covertly

Then attacked them so overtly!

I was unaware if its secret conception

It's very birth was the utmost deception

It's infiltration aimed to harm me

It's power more than disarmed me

I awoke with sheer confusion

But realized the inescapable intrusion

This shadow name Multiple Sclerosis

Silent, mysterious, and atrocious

My world you surely did penetrate

But my body you shall not desecrate.

While you attack by demyelination, I must confront you, is my

finalization

As you creep through my brain and eyes

Your very face I will soon recognize

My newfound strength now released, I accept you and accept my

disease.

I must modify life and approach this

To live with my shadow, Multiple Sclerosis.
