PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My name is Misty Dawn,

At this time I am 23,

But as the years go by older I will be,

My life has been hard you see,

I was a very sick baby,

Mommy new there was something wrong with me,

But yet she still loved me,

At the young age of two they told my mommy I had CP,

Many doctors,

Many surgery’s I stopped counting after 14,

It was and is still to much for me,

My body looks like a road map,

If you need to know where to go let me know,

And I will tell you,

There’s lots of days where I don’t want to get out of bed,

Because the pains to much,

There’s lots of days where I stay in my pj’s

Because the pains to much,

Some days it is a work out to put my shoes on my feet,

Because the pains to much,

There’s some days where I am up at night,

Because the pains to much,

I don’t know how I make it from day to day,

Maybe my hope for something new,

Maybe my hope for the unknown yet to come,

Maybe it’s the love I have for each new day,

Maybe it’s the hope I will meet someone new,

Maybe it’s because I know I am not alone,

So I keep telling myself that it is a new day and it will be better then yesterday,

And your beautiful in your own special way.
