Invisible Illness... I Think Not

by: Ashley Ringstaff/RingpOPposted: 12/2/2011

A lot of people classify MS as an invisible disease,

I wonder... How can this be?

 

My Multiple Sclerosis is invisible to the naked eye,

But it cannot be... Not to me.

 

Even if I want to forget I have MS that day,

The pain that it brings me... Seems to get in the way.

 

My MS is only noticed when I'm in a flare,

But it's noticeable to me every second of everyday.

 

"You look like you're doing good to me",

Well, what else do you want me to say? That I'm having a painful day?

 

My daily life is not an easy one,

I could never wish what I have on even my worst enemy.

 

Even those who wish they could take it away...

Who are an actual friend to me.

 

They say you can't judge a book by its cover,

No one can see what kind of pain I'm under.

 

Though my MS was easily caught...

Invisible Illness... I Think Not.
