Rose Robinson Poems

Strong but then weak
Happy but then sad
Sometimes feeling hopeful
Always dreading the bad

Scared and uncertain,
Where will it end?
Way too frightened
To peer past the bend

Why has life dealt me
This terrible blow?
I used to feel great
But now I feel low

I feel so frustrated
And angry, unsure
Will I ever experience
Life 'as before'?      <--------------------- Showing how someones life can drastically change.

I know I am loved
And people, they care
So why do I feel lonely      
And no-one is there?

This illness is evil             <--------------------- This is personification because it's giving the illness human like emotions
Seeps right through my soul
I want to feel warmth
But it leaves me so cold

I have to believe
That my strength will endure
I will deal with this illness
Though I know there's no cure        <-------------------- Has to believe even though there is no cure because he/she needs to put on a brave face for his/her loved ones

I know I can't beat it
But I know I can cope
I don't want your sympathy
I just want some hope

So I'll smile and I'll laugh
And make sure I survive
I'm ME -- a good person
And I'm very much alive.


This poem is about how the disease Multiple Sclerosis can effect someones life. Even if though the person is physically effected they can also be emotionally effected. It dramatically changes the lifestyle of a person and sometimes the person will give up but he/she will have to keep on a brave face for his/her family and friends. Towards the ending, the author writes about believing and being happy. The author wants the readers to know that you should never let an obstacle hold you back from living your life to the fullest.
