Seven days to go

Needing control
Of something in my brain
Slowly but greatly taking a toll
As I start to go insane

Just not feeling right
The pills are not working like they should
Could get worse tonight
My doctor has done the best he could

In a grey area that is rare
The condition is not known at all
There is no time to say it is not fair
For every rise you must brace for the fall

What is a doctor to do?
With a patient that cannot find a diagnosis
Guess work and observation, nothing new
Too bad we cannot use magic and hocus pocus

My diet and training keep me alive
The knowledge I have accumulated over the years
It is my passion and my will to survive
As every day and every week nears

I'm not facing this alone
This battle and war that is with in me
By my side or on the phone
She is there faithfully
