Taken

This is dealing with the effects of Huntington's Disease and how it can make life miserable for families! Plz go to HDSA.org and help out (-:

     I'd much rather be taken___

than have to stay here broken.

    

     Taken out of this place___

you will no longer be able to see my face.

 

     There just has to be other ways___

than to just lie in a bed the rest of your days.

 

          Take me!

        If I will no longer be

        able to walk in the sunshine...

  

        Feeling the heat upon my face___

        making my eyes squint and my heart race.

 

          Take me!

        If I will no long be

        able to eat pizza with my kids...

 

        At the table___

        listening to their laughter, happily ever after.

 

          Please take me!

        If I will no longer be

        able to hang out at the motocross tracks...

 

        To smell the fresh dirt

        in the mornings,

        To hear the sounds of

        bike engines roaring.

 

     I'd much rather be taken___

than to stay here broken.

 

     Just stuck here with a disease___

no soon hope of a cure to be spoken.

Oh this is so sad! The worst part is actually knowing that you will start to decline...just sitting and waiting...and of course...thinking about countless things...

You did an excellent job!!! When you kept shouting "Take me!" I literally felt a tugging within myself and I wanted to stand up and shout it alongside you. Very powerful!

Great work! :D

Don't we all feel the same way; Rather die now than hiding the pain, so no one would see the real us, that way we won't have anyone to feel "sorry" for us when we are trying our best to be our own independents. Let's face it, we all do need some help every once in a while, in order to get through...

Anyway, it's a real great writing, yet at the same time, it's kind of hard to read. But, it's all still great tho...

Very good. I don't know what it would be like to not be able to enjoy the things that are most dear to me.

If I had to watch as all the joys of life slipped by as I lay watching it through a window, I would want to be taken as well.
