Year Two

Two years ago a life changed.
My own body betrayed me.
I felt lost and alone.
Afraid of what the future will bring.

How do I find the power to fight back.
Do I even have that within me.
How to you fight something you don't understand.
But times passes as it always must.

I gained perspective and knowledge.
I discovered strength within myself.
I found that I am not alone.
I found out who I am.

Today the fear remains.
The uncertainty is still there.
But maybe I am a better person.
Or at least more understanding.

Today is always today.
There will always be a tomorrow.
And I will not waste them.
But embrace every moment with joy.

@Max
I was 3 yrs in the summer, but in denial until September.
You know what they say about time flies when you're having fun...
Well, I'm sure trying to have fun.
Plan on living forever.

Cheers,
Casey
