The Untamed Beast

The Untamed Beast

RA is a beast & a force to be reckoned with.  

I haven't figured out away to tame it just yet.  

It is like a thief in the night. Just sneaking

Around you and waiting to fight. My RA 

can strike at any ole time. It not only hurts

My body but it hurts my mind.  It tricks

Me into thinking it is finally gone then out 

Of the blue it comes on strong.  It is a beast

And it will mess with your mind so whatever 

You do don't let it inside. For once it gets in it 

Messes with your mind and makes you feel

Useless and you think "Such am burden am I."

It not only causes you so much all over pain but

Also will mess with your mind and make you 

Feel worthless & A little insane. But I do the best that I 

Can to keep the beast away but I must keep

My guard up for it can strike any time on any day. 

Just remember you are doing the best that you can

And talk to your family and try and make them 

understand. You need there support and 

may need them to lend a hand.  It is ok to ask

For help so kick your pride out the door so 

Friends and family can come in and help you more. 

Many family and friends want to help in some way

But don't know what to do or what to say. Having 

some people help when you are in pain is nothing 

bad but actually a very good thing.  I hope someday 

a cure will be found.  Id be so happy id be jumping up 

and down.  Can you imagine no more pain and suffering 

that comes along with this disease.  Can you imagine how happy

You'd be?!?!?  I know one day that a cure will be found. 

When they do find it I'll be the happiest person around!!
