No Longer Who I Used To Be by Pauline Hamblin
Can you see
The illness that haunts me?
Others don't understand.
To them my disease is just a name.
But I will never be the same.
I never thought
It would happen to me.
Disease is not choosy -
My body chosen, just happened to be.
My body's changing.
I can't be the person you're used to seeing.
Emotions run high.
My pain is real.
It haunts the very existence of my being.
Please don't judge me
If I seem angry.
For I don't understand
How my pain and suffering
Can be a part of God's master plan.

Any type of illness can be devastating Some are far worse than others, isolating once active souls into a mere shadow of who they once were

I know exactly how you feel. I got a disease 6 years ago. My life was stolen from me. It controls every minute of my life. I felt comfort knowing that I am not the only one who feels the pain of this. - ericka |

Very moving and understanding poem. This author has definitely caught the very essence of living daily with an illness and how it changes you on the inside. I know, I have cancer. - Cheryl |

I have dealt with patients that were sick and dieing, Pauline Hamblin poems hit the spot. - Verla |
