my head a mess
my thoughts a mess
my mood a mess
my legs a mess
my fingers a mess
my balance a mess
my vision a mess
my senses a mess
my sleep a mess
my strength a mess
my life: MS
author's note: no doubt I will be expanding this one

Deeply poignant Dave. Don't know what else to say...
Thanks Paul. Truth is, I have good days and bad - this one was written on a bad day and even then I am probably doing myself a dis-service - it makes me sound like a gibbering wreck when you wouldn't know to look at me that there was anything wrong. It's also a bit out of character - most of the time, I am relentlessly optimistic.
keep being relentlessly optimistic Dave - the poem itself shows great optimism
i think this is not a bad place to be for a poet....and if, you don't blame someone else for that,
i liked it and look forward to read the rest, David :)
some good additions here....i especially liked that quiet dawn,
wishes,
devika
Very poignant - stay optimistic Dave...
Nothing wrong about being honest. Looks like the paper so many headshrinkers talk about: write it down and throw it away. I think the best way is: make up your mind and live. (So the author's note is a great part of the poem.)
Best wishes
Ralf
