Me And Multiple Sclerosis

This is a poem I did years ago during a time when I had a string of episodes constantly for about a year. I've revised it many times. Now it stays as it is. 



Should I Laugh or Cry?

Should I laugh or should I cry?
With all this pain I feel inside.
With life’s twists I have to sigh.
And another day has just gone by.

How do I laugh, How do I cry?
I feel numb, my eye are dry.
But I know I have to try.
If not, it’s as if to die.

Why Should I laugh Why Should I cry?
Where’s the drive to make me try?
“The place is right within your heart.”
Yes… I see, It’s time to start.

Still, Dare I laugh or Dare I cry?
Release true feelings held inside?
How do I secure the child?
“Stay, the inner glow alive…My Child.”

Ahh Yes.. I will laugh and I will cry,
As for this melancholiness – goodbye,
A strenuous road I must specify,
Yet, I Know the Lord is Close Nearby
