I Weep

I weep in silence   

curled up in bed

throwing a pillow

over my head

drowning the sorrow

feeling the pain

the tears flow down

like pouring rain

what is happening

I don't understand

wiping the tears

with both my hands

trying to relax

to keep me sane

but why on earth

do I walk with a cane

stress is not good

for this thing that I've got

my memory's going

so I forget a lot

doing work really

wears me out

need plenty of rest

to be up and about.

all I hear from

people all day

 your looking so good

you must be okay

nerves are jumping

I'm really a mess

and all they can tell me

Its only MS
