I finally found an asthma support group and I'm very excited about it.
Silent as a hidden foe
Asthma sneaks into control
Unknown not understood
What you see is not what you know
An incredibly lonely disease
With hidden symptoms you learn to cope
deflated cells fatigued muscles
bulged eyes adrenal strife
Calm gasps of air
lifetimes repeated song
flared nostrils strained
pulled coughs blare
Fish out of water
tossing clumsy reach
Figetting wobbly feet
But it's not what you think
Blinders cloud the eye
suffocation takes the wheel
but pain inside the vessel
has no strength to deal
Shaking muscles have no control
little air is left to flow
mental magnitude assures the breath
but it cannot steal the show
Health sees no cost
of oxygen over will
of lives confined within
and it never will
I love this! Do you do any of the LUNG Force Association walks? My cousin has cystic fibrosis, another invisible disease! I think you should share this with the ALA for one of their publications.
ReplyDeleteNo but I will definitely look into the walk.
ReplyDeleteI will share it with ALA, thank you!
