You can't say SHIT! I'm Fighting Lupus

You can't say you've been there
I'm Celebrating every flight of steps out of breath like its a mountain
I get a rush from the pain
because I'm still alive to feel it
but you would never know unless I revealed it.

 You can't say you've done that  
 left your apartment,
 Sold your car because your body said it took too much strength & motion to turn a steering wheel,
 Too much willpower to pretend like your exterior were an example of how you internally feel
 ..and than START YOUR LIFE OVER AGAIN!
  from SCRATCH!
 and pain killers that make you scratch.

 You can't say you take a pill every night just so you are able to walk out of bed every morning.
 Cant say i never go out, that I'm Boring

You can't say I look fine when my doctor diagnosed me with 2 more reasons to feel depressed
You can't give me a hug when my body feels like one big bruise and your body like an elephant on my chest

 You can't say you understand when I have to ice my knees just because it rained
 You can't say I'm lazy when I'm just drained
 
You can't say shit about your job
When I help old ladies by day and need the same damn CANE to get around at night
No one knows my weakness because all I show the world is my Might!

This is my true story of a Lupus fight.
