finally

This poem truly comes from my heart and maybe it will help someone out there.

FINALLY

I woke up this morning,
With a smile on my face.
To the bathroom I ran,
Like an Indy race.

I stepped on the scale,
Hoping to lose.
But what I received,
Was very bad news.

I opened my eyes,
For only a peek.
Five more pounds,
In less than a week.

I made an appointment,
And to the doctor I go.
Whats wrong with me, I ask,
Hoping she'd know.

Irregular periods.
And hair on my face.
What is happening to me,
I'm such a disgrace.

Calm down, let's talk,
With a smile she replies.
I look up to her,
With tears in my eyes.

She starts to explain,
It all sounds the same.
But this time, its different,
My pain has a name.

As she continues,
The tears start to leave.
I finally understand,
I finally believe.

I sought till I found,
And now that I know.
But from here what happens,
Where do I go.

With no children yet,
At 25 years old.
All I want now,
Is a baby to hold.

A little weight to lose,
A little dignity to gain.
But life does go on,
If you can live through the pain.

Pray for me, I want to get better and have a baby so bad!!!!

Hi Misty!

What a thorough job you did in so accurately describing what we all go through! That was a truly beautiful poem!

Baby Dust to you!

bbecca and moongirl, thank you so much for complimenting me on my poetry. i was always told that the best works always come from real life and the heart. i have looked for ways to describe the things that you go through with this disease. This poem didnt even touch first base but there a whole field of players out there to back us up and take us to home plate. so for all you women out there who want to help others, you have a new soulcyster on your side.
