CRYING

Bonjour,

Now we come to the end of M.E. Awareness Week I wonder if a difference has been made. Is there any more awareness and understanding of M.E.? 
I certainly hope so. 

It's been overwhelming to read so many sad stories and the continuing struggle against this cruel illness and the inhumanity of it all. 

Life can be hard enough without a chronic illness so it's no wonder that we all find ourselves crying at times. I'm not exempt.  

Crying

I have a cry today

As memories revive

Of life that`s gone away

And how I just survive

My angry tears do fall

It`s really so unfair

Injustice of it all

Right now too hard to bare.

I cry with frustration

When the words elude me

It`s a degradation

Of my ability

I find myself crying

When I try to explain

There`s no understanding

Of how much I`m in pain

Today I start crying

I`m fed up with life now

Why should I keep trying?

What`s the point anyhow? 

I have a cry today

This is no life for me

Sick of feeling this way

Because of my M.E.! 

So how do we continue? How do we live with this chronic illness? 

Perhaps some cope better than others. 

Some find relief in sharing with others who suffer the same. 

I think we all find our own way. 

Unfortunately some don't. 

I don't have any magic solutions. 

I hold on to hope that one day things will change.  

On that note I finish this blog

Au revoir
