I hate this disease, but what can I do
I try my best, to just get through
I'm just so tired, and I feel so weak
Sometimes I even find it hard to speak

I spend much time around a Doctor and Nurse
They check on me so I don't get worse
It hurts so much, sometimes I cry all day
But still this pain won't go away

They can't catch this disease
I wish their fears was what I could ease
Why can't people understand more
I'm the same person I was before

Each day means the most to me
To live another, is what I long to see
A friend nearby would help me through
I wish that they only knew

I wish somehow that it would get through
That one day if they have nothing to do
I would welcome a visit from a friend
To lighten my heart until the day's end.
