Disease
By Oceane

A poem about my feelings about something new that I really didn't think were possible in the real life.

This is hard.
I know what I have to do
but I’m afraid of doing it.

What if it is true?
What if everything will be different?
What if everyone will see me in a different way?

If it is what I think it is,
what will happen then?
What will my life look like?

Will I change?
Will people around me change?
What will people around me say?

I don’t want to,
I just don’t want to.
But still
that’s the only thing that will help me.

Say this is true.
How am I suppose to say it?
How am I suppose to handle it?

If I do this
will I help those around me
or just make what’s already hard worse?

I’ve had to take a lot from you,
but what will you say now?
It will destroy you.
I will destroy you.

I have so many questions and no answers.
I don’t know what to do
and I don’t know if I can pull through.

Lovely sentiments and fear... I am certain everyone thinks the same but hats off to you for putting in front of the world... Keep up the good work Anne!

I am afraid that you are very lucky if at some time in your life you do not have these thoughts Anne. I have for certain. Then when dreadful things happen and you can't see a way out, you look around and isn't it strange how everyone else seems happy and you think "Why me? Why does this happen only to me?" But actually, behind the smiles, most people have gone through tragedy in their lifetime somewhere along the line, also, believe me.

Thanks.

I do know that you are right. RIght now I don't wonder why it was me. I more wonder what I am supposed to do about it. I know what I will do, but I don't know if it will make it worse or better. 
Thanks.

Thank you!  
I don't find it that hard to put it in front of the world. I have to do that to be able to deal with it.  
Thanks!
I hope . . .

. . . this isn't true? Though your intro seems to say it is . . . 
 
If so, I am very sorry and wish you strength . . . 
 
Purely as a poem, it's a bit general for me - maybe the specifics of the 'disease' are irrelevant, and more powerful for being left to the reader's imagination? 
 
Just a concrete image would help . . .  
 
Apologies - I am probably totally out of order here. 
 
All the best, 
 
John

I will probably need all the strength I can get. 
 
It might be general as a poem, but I can not give a more concrete image, it is all to personal to let the world know.  
But thanks anyway.  
 
Anne
