Who Am I?
I am not who you think I am,
I am not who you percieve me to be.
You want the pre-Fibro me.
A me that can never again be.
I can't keep up with the old me;
She left a long time ago.
And although I am a great pretender.
I am not the one you used to know.
Come and meet the new me.
I laugh, I love, I cry.
My dreams have been replaced.
I've changed, but am still the same inside.
Can we meet someday on my level
I can show you the world according to me.
You may be surprised to find
A slower pace is not such a bad place to be.
And although I can't run, work, hike
play ball, be chauffer, sit through a movie..
You, my children, are still my pride and joys
And I love you with all that is me.
My friends, we have been through some tough times.
And you know I would do all for you.
But can't you see the pain I am feeling;
and understand I need you, too?
My family, you are so precious to me;
And have always been my biggest fans.
I need you to listen to me now;
and accept me for the me that I now am.
I love each and every one of you dearly;
And would spare you this pain if I could.
But it is time I started taking care of me.
The way I now know I really should.
And so I will leave you now
with a few words before I depart
And that is, that although I have changed
healthwise, I still love, laugh, cry I am still the same me in my heart.
