I awake in the early hours
To the throbbing and stabbing
Coursing through my body
I take leave to crawl into a hot bath
…It’s Okay!
As we watch a favorite program
Sleep overtakes me
Unable to keep eyes open
I have no strength to fight
…It’s Okay!
Plans are made
To spend time with friends
Nap taken and extra rest
Do not prevent a flare
…It’s Okay!
Apologies sent
No need for self doubt
There will be other chances
Our family and friends understand
…It’s Okay!
Hidden conditions are in control
Our bodies dictate actions
We are forced to be patient
To live within the invisible boundaries
…It’s Okay!
There are times we cry
We battle with frustration
We struggle with isolation
We wrestle with guilt
…It’s Okay!
We cry out to God
For His peace and comfort
We hold tightly onto our Faith
Knowing our path is fraught with boulders
…It’s Okay!
We deal with thick brain fog
With vision that can blur
Often unable to remember
Or use incorrect words
…It’s Okay!
