C versus D

Scared and then scarred
but you live a life not barred
a disease so wrong
you fight to stay strong
you keep your head high
where others tears run dry
behind your facade
are fears not to discard
but you laugh a normal laugh
amidst nurses and staff
never to forget
never to regret
life is to live
and that you give
everything you can
no changes to your plan
to seek joy where it be
to satisfy thee........

Hi, Nuwahri61,
Scared and then scarred… Yes, the challenge is to keep the scars on the outside. Thanks for sharing C verses D. Happy to read that D is winning.

Fantastic poem,
For all the right reasons......
Great to hear of positive reaction
to a frightening illness.
Best wishes from a long term
sufferer.......
Mick.
