Why Me?
February 7, 2019
For many years I tried so hard
To live a life… a normal life.
But I can't escape this dark place
Where it seems like there is no where to go.
For many years I tried to forget
How sick someone can get.
The room seems cold and dark
As I sit in the bed week after week,
Fighting my battles quietly inside.
Afraid of the dark place that might come for me.
Fearful of being judged or misunderstood,
As I was that person who had no hair left.
All I wanted to do was hide and hope for the best.
Many nights I cried myself to sleep
Asking why me… why it had to be me.
