More Than You

 
I know what you’ve been thinking
Where the hell has he been
Well I’ve not been to London
To take tea with the queen
I’ve not been on a beach
On the south Spanish coast
I’ve not been drinking heavy
I’ve had nothing to toast
I’ve not been partying hard
Giving my liver no regard
Unlike the guy from Kung Fu
I’ve not been walking the earth
Nor have I been pregnant
With the second virgin birth
I have not been hospitalised in traction
But I have been missing in action

I’ve been in the deepest and darkest of places
With torturing demons, wearing happy smile faces
I’ve been racked with pain, burning and rigidity
Suicidal thoughts and self harming morbidity
Daily weeping real tears
Terrorised by real fears
Sadness beyond human understanding
My sane mind simply crash landing
This time I thought there was no escape
My mind and body all out of shape
Unable to transcend no poetry penned
I really thought this was finally the end

Then I was thrown a rope
How would all your others cope
If you were no longer there
Showing your love, showing you care
I realised, sometimes the fight is worthwhile
If only for those who are more fragile
Than You


I have missed you all so much and I am sorry not to have been in contact sooner. As you can tell from the poem above I have been going through a personal nightmare which I am glad to say is almost over. I will be losing my other leg over the next 3 months but I have already made the peace with that. I have really been helped by all your messages of caring and support. it was thinking about you guys and your love and support that kept me from the edge. Thank you all so very much. I am looking forward to belonging again on here and to reading and posting as normal

you are a great bunch of people and I am glad to be back :-)
