What it�s like to be
Someone who�s life�s
Affected by CFS/ME.
Close your eyes and think
Of all the things you like to do
The people you love being with
Friends and family too.
Now try to imagine
Your life with no energy
Not even enough to sit
And watch the TV.
All of those things
That you thought of before
Have been taken away
And you can do no more.
The people you loved being with
Stop calling round
Now lonely and in pain
You find you�re house bound.
Not even the doctors
Can always explain
Why your body�s wracked
With so much pain.
There is no pill or potion
To make this go away
And for months or years
It�s likely to stay.
If this sounds like a nightmare
And you can�t believe it�s true
Trust me when I say it is
And thank goodness it�s not you.
