fourteen seconds to failure.

eight.

dear family,
to my closest four
i love you all more than you could ever know
you are always there, even when i'm distant
and mom, you are always there to listen
dad, you provide for us, yet rarely complain
and brothers, you both make me laugh, keep me sane
thank you for standing by, though i know it's hard
to watch me struggle, and continuously fall
but we each have a part
the glue, the humor, the string, the heart
and without each of you, i'd most definitely fall apart
you make this painful journey, easier to go through
and in the end, all that is important, all that i have is you

thank you for sticking with me instead of leaving like everyone else
and most of all, thank you for never treating me different as if my illness makes me less
