Hi, I'm Caitlyn Connelly

Today Is A Day

Today is a day
Full of biblical pain
But it may be the only day to play
However it is such a drain
 
Today is a day
Surrounded by loved ones
Who sit by you and pray
While the spasms burn like numerous suns
 
Today is a day
Twisting like ancient trees
Pills in array
Wishing life was just a breeze
 
Today is a day
You are beyond tired
Wishing your body would fly away
Sleep, which you have not had in days, is beyond desired
​

Today is a day
You are fighting
Even through your body is in decay 
And then your body erupts into lightning
 
Today is a day
Every hard swallow makes it a chore to eat
You want to run away
However you can not retreat
Today is a day
The miscommunications of your brain 
In massive disarray
Causing the greatest pain 
 
Today is a day
You are fighting the spasms immensely
But they will not stay at bay
Twisting and spasming intensely
 
Today is a day
You are alive
Like a beautiful bouquet
You have a choice to survive 
 
Today is a day
To dream and hope
About a different day 
And to stop sliding down the slippery slope of mope
 
Today is a day
To find better treatments and perhaps a more comfortable allure 
That day is why it is worth while to stay
And this torture may only temporary to endure
 
Today is a day
To explore, accept and advance
For this suffering to finally be thrown away
To have a chance​​
