"MS — 2 LETTERS IN THE ALPHABET"

MS – 2 LETTERS IN THE ALPHABET
6 LETTERS APART –
YOU MESS WITH MY MIND AND BODY
BUT NOT MY HEART.

MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL KEEP ME
FROM FALLING APART –
FOR I DO NOT KNOW WHEN YOU WILL STRIKE
OR WHEN THE DISABILITY WILL START.

I WILL FIGHT YOU WITH A NEEDLE
AND CLEAR LIQUID EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE –
AS YOU MAKE MY HANDS, FEET AND LEGS NUMB AND SHOOT PAIN THROUGH MY BODY
LIKE A KNIFE.

I REALLY NEVER KNEW MUCH ABOUT YOU
EXCEPT YOU ARE A DISEASE THAT HAS NO CURE –BUT I DO KNOW THAT MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL STICK BY ME FOR SURE.

THEY WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME
THROUGH THICK AND THROUGH THIN –
AND I KNOW WITH ALL OF THEIR HELP
THIS DISEASE HAS NO WAY TO WIN!
