My Life Turned Upside Down

I can feel it within - something is wrong
I am losing energy and not feeling as strong
Complex symptoms - of which there are many
Yes doctor, I too, wish there weren't any
I know there's a lot, but they are all true
Isn't there anything at all - you can do?

I know it's all happening, I sit there and plead
No matter what I said, I just couldn't succeed
Then into my search the right person came
A doctor who finally gave my ghost a name
The force of its strike can put you to bed
No physical boundaries excluded - not even the head.

It just sneaks right up - can make you feel like dirt
Creating problems to even button pants or a shirt
No Known Cause - Not Contagious - they can't figure it out
For Research - For Knowledge - use us we all shout !!!
I do at times sit - with my head in a wonder
What else in my life may I have to encumber?

My body - My life - are at times in a tizzy
This disease of many symptoms, the days that I feel like a sissy
They say there's no cure - so for now - that's the breaks
Yes - I continue to fight - no matter what it takes!
It can happen to Anyone - so don't ever feel smug
If you meet a person with Sarcoidosis - Please give them a HUG.
