MY PAIN IS REAL


Today was not a good day

Tomorrw may be the same way

But I must pray and pray

And hope for a better day

The pain I feel s rea without a doubt

It affects me inside and out

I did not ask for it

Sometimes I want to quit

Other times it grounds me

And other times I want to flee

It make me stronger to defeat the strife

Feeling the pain is a long lesson I've overcome

I just keep going beating to the same drum

This is the life I was given

With God on my side I will stay driven

Lupus doesn't have me, though

This I know

I'm a FIGHTER

And I know my future is brighter

It won't hold me back

Cause I'm always ready to attach

With God, friend and famil always by my side

I will take everything in stride
