Heart disease

    I've had heart disease since my freshman year of high school. I am a senior now and will graduate in June. Last week I had an appointment with my doctor, and he told me that the squeezing chamber in my heart is not working properly. It's gone from 45% to 33%. I'm so scared right now, because I don't know if I'm going to be okay. Somebody say something nice to me please!

    Omg that's horrible, it must be hard to go through something like this, I hope you get through this and live a long life.
    There's this famous arab poet named Abu AlQasim Alshaby he was born with heart disease, eventually he died from his disease at a very young age. But he left behind the best of arabic poems behind, in a lot of his poems he talked about his disease and was very optimistic about it; in one poem he discribed himself as Promithius in greek mythology who also went through torment, he was known to live in his mind in the world he wanted to live in... I don't have a translated poem of his but I do think it would help you to read one, I could translate one if you'd like me to.

    This is one of his poems:

    Silence O' wounds
    Silence O' sorrow
    The era of wailing has died
    And so has the time of madness
    And the morning has emerged
    Behind the first ray of sunlight
    Behind the darkness
    And the roaring of the waters
    Invited by the morning
    And the Spingtime of life
    O' what a prayer
    Echoing through my heart
    Exsistance is no longer for me
    Over these blotches of land
    Goodbye! So long!
    O' mountains of solicitude
    O' hills of grief!
    O' gates of hell
    My boat has sailed
    In the great sea
    And the sails have been stretched out
    So goodbye! So long!

    This is part of the one I told you about "This is how Promithius sang"

    I will live against sickness and enemies
    An eagle souring over the proud peak
    I gaze at the shining sun moking her
    By the clouds, rain and flood
    Dare I glance at the depressing shadow and see
    What lies in the core of the dark pit
    And I live in the reahlm of feelings a dreamer
    A singer and that is the true happiness of a poet
    I hearken to the music of life and it's muse
    To melt the soul of the universe in my words
    And listen to the heavenly voice
    Liven up the dead beat in my heart
    And I say to the persistant fate who never stops
    War on my hopes in every misfortune
    "The flames kindle in my blood will not be extinguished
    By the clashing waves of sorrow and the storms of woe
    So demolish my heart you can't
    As it will be like a solid rock
    Unfamiliar to the humiliating complaint and wail
    Supplication of the children and the weak
    He lives forever superciliously gasing
    Towards the dawn, the beautiful distant dawn."
