My new Multiple Sclerosis Song "Try"

A song about living with multiple sclerosis.
Dedicated to my MS family.

TRY

You tell me not to speak of what I fear will come.
OF how I am feeling weak and everything is numb.
But I am reminded everyday of all that's been lost.
How long do I have to pay? You know it has cost me..
Everything.
Now I have nothing, but then again...
I have everything because
I know that I will try.
Though I am afraid to try.

Why? Oh why am I?

You tell me just to breathe. Sometimes I am so intense.
You know I wanted to believe, but my belief is spent.
I am not a fool. This is why I cry. but
I am not smart enough to DENY that my
life is going to change, but then again, it is all the same.
It is all the same.
Cause I know I will try.
Though I am afraid to try.

Try.

Thank you for putting ms into words. Especially in song. Sometimes it feels like no one can understand.

@Fight2CureMS

This song is for you.

@Fight2CureMS I like to thing of music with meaning as coming from God. there is no way I could put MS in words. Thanks for the compliment though. The song can get you through some tough times. I am actually a fan of it.

Thank you so much for this. I was diagnosed at 11 and have been living with it for 5 years now. It's looking to the future that's the scariest part of this disease for me.

I have really wanted to get a tattoo of inspirational words that can keep me going, if anyone has any ideas, let me know :)

I tried to remember this:

My legs may not work well but my heart knows no bounds.

I sum it up with KEEP TRUCKIN'. (Something whispered when my face was in the dirt.)

I actually am getting a small puzzle piece on my forearm to symbolize that MS is only a part of me and not all of me.

The MS community understands you.

WE are ONE voice and ONE LOVE.

You will find some miserable souls out there but for the most part.

MS'ers are not wimps and we fight for each other.
