Much of my life
Was put on the back burner
Medical withdrawal from PhD program
To focus on health
Taking things a day at a time
All the stressors, known and unknown
Loneliness, grief, fighting for justice
Walking a semi-solitary path
Depression, anxiety, ME
I am almost at my 5 year mark of remission
Of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
I am a survivor and a warrior
Medication rework
Has made things harder
But I've come too far to quit
No matter how bad it gets
It doesn't and never will be
As horrendous as July 2015
The future me
Finishes her doctorate
Writes a dissertation to make
The ME community proud
Will get a job as a business ethics professor
Full time and hopefully tenured
How long will it take?
Hopefully not too long
Can't see into the future
Hope to enjoy my hobbies again
Writing, reading, singing
If all goes well, hope to
Go scuba diving for my birthday
This year, second half of September
Photography has returned
Slowly getting back on track
My future is bright
But I won't get there
Without a battle
Whether tomorrow or in 2 years
I shall succeed
Because my hopeful
Is always a 10.
