I came across this poem and thought I'd share.

The Beast Within
by Devera Jobe


What is this thing that lurks inside?
It steals my body and my mind,
It leaves me with a fear so strong
I think and wonder, what is wrong?

I cannot walk the way I should,
I cannot run, I wish I could.
My eyes do not see like before,
I can't remember anymore.

What else will it steal in the morning light?
I cannot let it, I must fight.
How can I fight what I cannot see
This monstrous thing inside of me?

I must go on living and fighting this beast,
I will never give in, I must not cease.
Till one day I hear the words, so clear,
Like an angel whispering in my ear.

Fear not this beast; it will go away.
There will be a cure one special day.
So I fight and I wait and I don't give in,
I wait patiently for this miracle to begin.

I'll run to a field spinning round and round,
A field of violets that surround.
I'll lift myself up and run through the trees,
With a smile on my face, I'm Free, I'm Free!

Thanks for posting that.  I think it would be a nice addition to maybe have a weekly poem or song lyrics or something similar posted to our forum; maybe we could take turns (nothing formal just whomever has something they feel like sharing).  What do people think of that idea?  Hmm ... maybe I'll post a poll to see what the response is.

Oh forgot to mention I have another one on my journal that's awesome also!!!!! I almost like it better than this one but found it after already posting this one and didn't want to fill the forum up with silly poetry as I don't know if everyone would appreshiate them like I do. Check it out, it made me smile when I found it!

I'm sorry you are having a rough time with family and doctors and frustration. Just know that each day is a new day and I hope that each one of them brings improvement and happiness for you. I'm glad the poem brought you a little joy.
