The Disease

Sometimes the disease takes hold of my throat and squeezes as hard as it can. Trying to suffocate me and trying to drain the very last drop of life out of me. This is when I need to get hold of myself and take my control back. I have to consciously force myself to step back and take myself out of the situation and remind myself that the disease is just a disease, and I can not allow it to take over my life. I will not allow it to break me down and destroy my life, I will not allow it to make me feel less of what I am. I reject the disease.
