The list of my

Health problems

Is like a rap sheet

Let's see,

We have:

Depression

Anxiety

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Or M.E.

And of course

You can't forget the

Bells and whistles

Insomnia

Pressure in the head

Hand and body tremors

Nausea

Vertigo

Light sensitivity

Muscle and joint pain

Slurred speech

Extreme exhaustion

That's a lot

For one person

To handle

But I do

Every single day

I will have bad days

Sometimes more than good ones

I'm human

But

I will beat all of it

With or without

Anyone's help

My determination

For my future

Beats out this

Lack of health

Bullshit

Blood runs

Through my veins

But so does

Iron will

I didn't come so far

To fail

Or give up

I will get my Ph.D.

I will become a college professor

I will get healthy

Even if I have to run

Through a brick wall

I will beat all of it

As will you

If you're fighting

Any battle

Within yourself

Remember

We're all fighters

And

We're all survivors
