Bumblebee to Butterfly

(Day 4: Thirty day poetry challenge )
-------------
Shoulders are weak
Burdens are heavy
Long journey I seek
But legs are weary

One medical bill
and mind has lost its will
Lightness Swiftness all gone
Butterfly became a bumblebee

This illness has taken a grip
Money flowing in a steady drip
Bread winner has become bed ridden
Support has become the burden

Heart wading thru stormy sea
Life no longer calling me
Do they wish that I go
Or do they really love me
as much as they show

I am ready to die
But if I don't give a fight
Who am I?
All these years what I believed
Would be for nothing
But a heartless lie

Everyone is dying anyway
So why not live ....
.... even in this final driveway!
.....
I will be stronger
I will be lighter
I will be colourful
Bumblebee to Butterfly
That's me, mE, ME
