"See You On The Otherside"
Sharon B...©
My Family say, that I am a fool, racing and counting down the ways.
To a surgery that could be life threatening, and even end my days.
Why am I so happy and excited to under go the knife?
When I will be cut open, and could even loose my life!
So I asked myself could they be right, and could I be so wrong?
Do I really want to continue to live like this, and if I do, how long?
Then I took a look at myself, in the mirror on the wall,
And I remember and I realize that in reality, I do not have a life at all!
My high blood pressure is rising up for sure,
And the chronic pain shooting up my back, is more than I can endure.
My clothes are big,, and I made them all by hand,
I don't go anywhere unless I have to, cause it's too painful for me to stand.
My thighs are so big they rub together, giving me a rash of heat.
And the constant swelling of my ankles, keep me from putting shoes
upon my feet.
Children laugh at me in the grocery store, and call me an ugly name
I laugh and joke along with them, as if my feelings are a game.
If I continue to live each day like this, I just know I'll go insane.
So call me a fool, or whatever you want to,
but I must do what I must do!
I want to be able to run or even dance,
and this surgery is my very last chance.
So yes, ..I am running to the cutting table, for this surgery like a blast.
And freedom from this obese body, is what I will gain at last!
So on next week, I will take a plane, and in a car I'll ride,
And when my journey is over, I will see you on the otherside!
