Invisible

People look at me and say there's nothing wrong
It's all in my head
My parents say that the migraines are from my home life
They do not see or understand
Try having your head feel like it is going to explode
Doesn't matter if day or night
The neurologist ignores everything I saw to
A specialist of what?
The neurosurgeon did not tell me for months what was going on
I felt like I was going insane
It's all in my head
My parents must be right
I used to run for miles
and now can barely walk around the block
But according to everyone there is nothing wrong
Is my leg supposed to be numb?
Is it supposed to be hard to breath?
Noone is willing to answer my questions
I want my life back damnit
Can't you see that
It's May and here I sit in air conditioning
Which I hate
but I cannot kick pneumonia and it hurts to breath
My own body is betraying me
Beyond belief
I am a Navy Veteran
Used to work on my birds
Used to be depended on to keep my pilots safe
Now I cannot even move without pain.
This is so wrong for anyone
Not just me
Totally invisible disease that people ignore
They do not want to see
Do not care
Even if they have MD on their name
I am a person
Not just a number or film
Listen to me and what I say
Do not ignore
I am tired of being invisible
My name is Christine
I am a patient
I have these diseases
Can you not see
Do you not care?
