Dedicated to Friends with Parkinson's (FWP)

Unwelcome Guest

You came into my life

Out of the blue.

Without an invite, I asked 

What happened, what did I do?

No reasons, no answers given.

You walked into my life nonetheless.

You marched right in and took over,

Turned my life into one big mess.

Climb into bed with me every night,

You lurk around in my sleep.

Staying around till morning breaks,

Causing me pain and cramp in my feet.

Never alone, you love to slow me down.

Just to make sure I know you're around.

You refuse to let me walk,

All I hear is the shuffling sound.

Life is hard with you in it,

I wish we have never crossed paths.

But looks like you're around for awhile,

Slowly devouring me in your wrath.

But you know what, unwanted guest?

You'll never take my will to live, my hope and peace.

You can try to tear me to smithereens,

But you WILL NEVER have me, Parkinson's Disease!!
