Multiple Sclerosis An Invisible Disease

My heart hurts my soul is depleted 
I used to walk around feeling so undefeated 
The pain is at a tipping point & I just can't beat it

My brain is killing me & my body follows suit 
Sometimes I wonder if I should just pick it up & shoot
Early morning headaches feel like a tumour 
Take 12 of these it'll make relief come sooner 

Spinal tap & a few MRI's later 
They say more pills will make my chances greater 
Side effects put me in a dark place 
Im scared when I look in the mirror I'll see my killers face
But my son shouldn't have to live through that disgrace 

Why me is the answer I want to know 
When I pray where do those thoughts go 
I tried to be the best person I could 
But my life is like a scalpel trying to cut through wood 
Pull myself up by my boot straps like you knew I could 
I can't  say it any clearer but you still misunderstood
