Get Off that Wailing Ship!

by Ladykelshan
 Age Group: Adult

Don't do a "Woe is me" routine on me! Don't keep saying "I will have to be like this the rest of my life" Don't keep using your damn excuses to get to get others to feel sorry for you.. ..because you, .... are NOT the only person on this planet that is.. hurting from a chronic disease. ...you're still alive and.., functioning, aren't you? Okay then! Keep your mouth SHUT!
I always hated when you used your illness as an excuse to get people to do your bidding! (You thought, that nobody noticed or had figured that out, ..well, you were WRONG!) I never liked when you thought that just because you had certain problems, other's should automatically stop dead in their tracks to "see" that you were "so utterly helpless".. .You weren't that dense , were you?!!!
You always acted like you were a Princess and the rest had to help you...because you "just couldn't" do what you "needed to..." I have always wondered if the people closest to you, would someday finally , "figure out " that you had "control" over them! I never told you , that one person, did know a lot more , than they ever admitted! Little did you know.. .and I never said a word!
I hope someday that you "See" what you do NOT wish to see! I hope someday that you stop treating friends , like they are your "personal assistants".. .because they are your friends, NOT your caretakers! I hope someday, people, wise up to what you are REALLY up to... because you haven't been honest with anybody, even yourself! I hope someday, that you stop behaving so rudely towards others that do not know you, and that accidently miss the things that you have been forced to carry around with, the last ten years or more.
You have to stop and realize that not everyone.... sees your medical issues... and "knows" what is expected of them, if they were to walk near you, and crash into you.... learn how to deal with it nicely, and let it go! Nobody in this world is all together perfect, , ..and not "everybody" notices a person with a disability, some of the time, and or all of the time. ...and not everybody , has to care, either! Because , trust me, they do not!
I write this, because I have been so angry about these issues.. and it has really pissed me off for many years... .I have been told this to my face, from others to "get over it", , , and I finally did learn to "get over it!". ..I was acting a lot like you at one time.. ..but, I got told to just stop, and see what is, really happening, and DEAL with it, the best way that I can! I have diabetes type two... .I caused this, it's all my doing...nobody else can take the blame! I KNOW this! I cried, when I learned that I had it...... but, only to de-stress myself.... .I knew that I might just get this disease... .I had been warned, many, many times! I knew!.......
It's my fault!
SOmeday, maybe you will see that even if you are sick.... you are still HERE, and very much ALIVE and KICKING! Be HAPPY that you are still here! Be JOYOUS! Maybe you didn't ask for this .. .but, you have an illness, now stop trying to make others feel rotten.... Put your chin up and know that you are a SURVIVOR! and that you WILL LIVE, and YOU WILL do WELL!
Just so that you know....I consider my "illness" to be a BLESSING in disguise! It has changed my life, and for a good cause! I will not eat bad foods anymore, I will not clog.. ...my arteries up, and hurt my heart! DO you know that I still have a chance of being in the same sinking boat that you are in? Do you know that diabetics can die, from a stroke, or from a heart attack, and alot more?! Do you know, that I am as "unwell" as you may be now? But, the difference is that I am not on a "wailing" ship, like you have been and may still be on!
Just learn to smile more, think positive thoughts, work on "happiness" and learn to let things go, and don't "use" your friends, and others... because you are as strong as a horse, and so am I.. and you CAN and WILL... LIVE! And you WILL be... ALRIGHT! You don't need that much help, because you got the get up and go.. and "we've "all seen it!
 Author's Notes: By ladykelshan Written Friday August 18th, 2006
This is a poem about real feelings that I have had pent up for a long while...regarding some persons that I have encountered in the past and present..and they just really don't get "IT"!
Life is Important...so they need to stop blaming everybody for their life problems, and taking people for granted...because they need to get their own garbage together....I am still working hard on my own!
I want my life to MEAN SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO ME....I want to be a good person and a person that isn't sitting on my butt, still "wailing" about how life handed me dog poop!
P.S. Years ago, I recall (on the Johnny Carson show) an older fellow that took Pidgeon poop, and he put it into some type of plastic and made "bolo-ties" I think for men and or women! I actually thought, eww! But, ya know, it WAS an interesting thought! LOL! Now there's an interesting way to see just how you can "Change" the negative gunk in your life!!!! LOL!!!!
and thanks to Johnny C, whereever in" Bliss-land" he may be!
