Do you have it, or does it have you?

How far away is nowhere?
Can I get there from here?
Would it take a long time , or none at all,
For me to get there?

I'd like to go there sometime,
And disappear away.
To have nothingness envelop me ,
To forget about this pain.

This illness overtakes me sometimes,
And covers up my life.
Steals my joy and happiness,
Robs away my rights.

I have to remind myself daily,
My soul has been set free.
Because my body might have lupus,
But lupus does not have me!


Here's to having it , but it not having you !  ~  Ruby Jeanette
