When there's a million things taking up our time, our minds become so easily occupied. We forget about those like you, and forget about the bodies that made it through. Some days your at your best, others at your worst, and when your wearing a frown I hope you know there are dozens of us who won't let you down. When your in your bed feeling so weak, were always there watching you sleep. We'll always be at your feet for as long as you need; and cater to all your needs. This thing, it changes you and I can't imagine how hard it gets to do. We see it in you that you embrace every moment of it and look at it as learning. Just when your ready to give up, don't. Your fires still burning. In a couple years from now it will all be in the past. Over at last. You can only get better, what doesn't kill hurts... But I believe can only make you stronger, and can't get much worse. I know with every demon inside, angels are watching over you helping you try. The strength in you inspires me and everyone else around to be the best we can be. I didn't intend on my feelings to rhyme kinda like how god wouldn't put you through this if he didn't think you couldn't get past it time after time. You have faith. Never lose it, it's important to keep. Making up for those who abuse it. I know I'm not the only one who see's the hero in you, but everyone else too. And more importantly your own self. Your journey I know has just begun but it will be over soon and making the best of it helps. Just as you are doing. this thing we know of but can't understand it's name... Cannot be tamed. You make it all look so easy. Putting up with this cruel disease. That ends so many lives but at the same time handfuls survive. It's something we can't comprehend. But something I know you can overcome. This thing is real, far from pretend. I like to think there's a purpose for all this and why your life is the life it picked. Because it's important to realize how many love you, while you think it's destroying your life I know it's saving mine. It's sad that something so horrible was the only thing capable of opening my eyes. It changed my input on life, actually showed me there's light. I know it's all overwhelming. But you'll be okay.. I know this because there's every way of telling ♥
