Amusement Park Called 'MS' "

by Cheryl K.


I have looked and looked
and I have found,
One thing for sure--MS is a constant
Merry-Go-Round.

When vertigo makes your world
start to spin and twirl,
That is the ride that they call
the "Tilt-a-Whirl".

When depression takes you up,
and then down,
That must mean that the "Roller Coaster"
has come to town.

Have you begun to run into the walls?
You are then walking the
"Fun House" halls.
And the ride that they call
the "Octopus",
Are all the many symptoms reaching out to us.

Doctors, lawyers, man or woman,
it doesn't seem to care
Who comes to play,
who comes to share.

All the many problems
and all of the stress,
In this place, this "amusement park"
called MS.

I only feel some of those things and just thinking about how someday all of these things can and prob will happen to me scares me to death. but i know i am not alone and i just want to say thank you to all of you out there who have helped me realize that ms is just a part of life some of us have to live with and to me it dont make us weaker it makes us stronger. Even when people look at us weird for walking a little different or when we slur our words when i see/hear people that do that i just turn my head and hold it high and i know that MS will not controll my life.
