A past unrealized
A future uncertain
Forever altered by an incurable disease.
A past unrealized
A future uncertain
Inability to be who I imagined I'd be.
So many things unable to come to fruition
Can I have a family, a career, a life
An identity outside this disease?
Who am I without Behcet's Disease?
I am me. The same me before.
A different me after.
For this disease has forever changed me in a positive way
Because underneath all the insecurities, the doubt, the unfulfilled dreams
Is a better me. More than I imagined I'd be, not less.
When I look in the mirror
Instead of seeing who I used to be
I see who I am.... Now.
And that's MORE than enough.
