"A Man that's a Pisces"

"A Man that's a Pisces"

A Poem by Thepensiveplayer
"

Tell me what do you think of who I am?

"
"I wake up in the morning and I wonder"
"can I execute the goals in my mind"
"though I may not be younger"
"this is no time to play blind"

"I went to my window to gaze at the sky"
"as the cool breeze passed my face"
"I could only think of the word why?"
"what is my purpose in this place?"

"Then my glance caught the lake below"
"and I couldn't help but self-reflect"
"my past caused my growth to slow"
"but now I can move forward with respect"

"I get lost in my own feelings"
"its apart of who I am"
"and those that are troubled with life's meaning"
"I feel compelled to help them in a jam"

"Since I've finished college, I've been plagued with an illness"
"One that destroys your immune system rapidly"
"and I couldn't rebound with a quickness"
"Yet, I'm glad no one near me acted callously"

"Drugs, such as Humira and remicade kept me stabilized"
"but my condition continued to worsen"
"no matter how much I improvised"
"people couldn't bear to see me with this burden"

"At the start of this year"
"I had surgery for a new digestive system"
"though I went through it with great fear"
"I gained much wisdom"

"Since the operation I've had several emotions"
"sadness, pain, regret and much more"
"but my family helped me through the motions"
"and I realized what my life still has in store"

"If there's anything to take, its the fact I'm alive"
"its not time for my fate to end yet"
"because of my will to thrive"
"and my desire to inspire those I haven't met"
