I am from a childhood of worries and bad things
I have experienced the days without any sound,
My parents saddened by the news the doctors bring
Being so helpless as I watch the world go round
I am from a place where every time I slept
I could have been near death
A worried look on their faces, my parents had always kept
Never knowing if each would be my very last breath
I am from a world of birth defects
Of hospital visits and a life without much hope
But my life is something god continues to protect
And with my illness I have learned to cope
I am from a place where I proved the experts wrong
I lived it my way,
As I wrote my own song
And I lived out each day
I am from a place where my life is never normal
I deal with things most people never dreamed
We are talking much more then just hormonal
I have never been normal no matter how much it seemed
I am from a place where my friends are all crazy
And I owe so much too all my great friends
When it comes to helping me they have never been lazy
And on each other, our life depends,
I am from a place where things aren’t always as perfect as they seem
But things get better and that’s all I need to know
Sometimes all I want to do is sit there and scream
But I always know that things will get better as we go
I am from a place where things constantly change
One minute I’m happy, the next I’m a mess
The emotional roller coaster used to seem so strange
But now my feelings I am learning to express
This was my world,
This is how it all goes
My life was all swirled
And no one even knows
I wrote this about my younger life and this is about how I was sick when I was little and when I was in the hospital because I had sleep apnea which is where you stop breathing in your sleep and so they never knew if I would keep breathing and I could die every time I went to sleep and being a baby I slept a lot so I was on oxygen to help me breathe. When I said that I proved the experts wrong I was talking about the doctors because I was not supposed to live passed age 6 and I was not supposed to be taller then three feet. I think every teenager goes through the emotional roller coaster at some point or another and it is just amazing how fast I go from happy and hyper to angry, sad and tired. But talking to your friends or people who understand helps a lot and it makes you feel a lot better!! please vote and comment!!
