A Life of Change and Hardships

by Rachel   Sep 17, 2003


A life of change and hardships

I am from a childhood of worries and bad things
I have experienced the days without any sound,
My parents saddened by the news the doctors bring
Being so helpless as I watch the world go round

I am from a place where every time I slept
I could have been near death
A worried look on their faces, my parents had always kept
Never knowing if each would be my very last breath

I am from a world of birth defects
Of hospital visits and a life without much hope
But my life is something god continues to protect
And with my illness I have learned to cope

I am from a place where I proved the experts wrong
I lived it my way,
As I wrote my own song
And I lived out each day

I am from a place where my life is never normal
I deal with things most people never dreamed
We are talking much more then just hormonal
I have never been normal no matter how much it seemed

I am from a place where my friends are all crazy
And I owe so much too all my great friends
When it comes to helping me they have never been lazy
And on each other, our life depends,

I am from a place where things aren’t always as perfect as they seem
But things get better and that’s all I need to know
Sometimes all I want to do is sit there and scream
But I always know that things will get better as we go

I am from a place where things constantly change
One minute I’m happy, the next I’m a mess
The emotional roller coaster used to seem so strange
But now my feelings I am learning to express

This was my world,
This is how it all goes
My life was all swirled
And no one even knows
