Inside my body is a young woman full of life
Ready to jump and run and dance all night long
Inside my body is strength and truth
Ready for any challenge life throws at me
Inside my body is dreams of the future
Waiting to come true
Inside my body is an athlete
Ready to compete
Inside my body is a witty mind
Waiting for conversation
Inside my body is an enemy
Killing me everyday
Inside my body is pain and depression
Sucking energy from my soul
Inside my body is fear of the future
Terrified I won't survive
Inside my body is an invalid
Trapping me in bed
Inside my body is an Alzheimer patient
Stopping me from remembering
Fibromyalgia isn't terminal
It is a life sentence that ends in death
Fibromyalgia doesn't kill physically
It just stops life from being lived
Merely survived
