The Before
Updated: Nov 1
I wish you knew me
In the before
When my hips swayed
Through the door
Of effortless arm swing
Of effortless everything
When I truly believed
That this type of disease
Would never happen
To someone like me
When people stopped to stare
Or compliment my hair
And I was eager to be
The center of everything
Now I am at the center again
Of a whirlwind of feelings
Live in the moment
Don’t think about tomorrow
If steps were as easy as words
I would already be at the finish line
