I am Living with This

Teigan Maynard

I am Living with This 

I know you do not understand how hard it can be
Living with the pain 
Living with the hurt my family feels for me 
How limited my life has to be 
Only a few simple things I have done 
Usually spending my days 
Thinking and dreaming of fun 
My life is to be 
Yet a foggy haze 
Knowing my soul keeps creeping around 
Some nights I will cry 
Some nights I will sigh 
Some nights I just want to fly 
AWAY
Take in the air and simply stare 
At my sleeping family 
Thinking, why me 
Irritated with the pain my body goes through
Irritated with me 
The shame in which I wish 
I never knew 
Wanting to scream 
I AM ALIVE 
This will have a lot of meaning 
Watch me now 
I AM LIVING 
With this illness 
With this sickness 
Never being completely alone 
Never being able to be completely shown 
Never understanding 
Why I was given gifts 
Why my life has to be limited 
Living with my feelings that will never be truly understood 
You will never truly get me 
I AM HERE
I am living with this 
I am living with my Epilepsy
