Great new poem from Laura Moore

The New Face Of Lyme
You say that Lyme Disease
Is not actually real
That people make this stuff up
And it is not how they feel?You say that Lyme Disease
Is just a means to an end
For people who want attention
Well YOU are in for a rude awakening ,my friendWAKE UP! Lyme is real
And it is here to stay
Like a rude uninvited guest
And it is not going away

You think that Lyme is not here
But way off in a far away land
That is because Lyme is something
You just don’t understand

It could be your neighbor
RIght across your back yard
If you are looking to find Lyme
It wont be very hard

It could happen to any
Of the number of people you meet
Like that person you see
Walking across the street

Who if she happened to tell you
She was very sick you wouldn’t believe
But don’t be fooled by outward appearances
For looks can decieve

For what you don’t know
And what she does well to hide
Is how horrible she feels
Way down deep inside

And Lyme is out there lurking
Like a silent criminal in almost every place
That will drain you of life and steal your soul
And wipe that doubting smirk right off of your face

You need to face facts
Cause no matter what you do
Take a good look in the mirror
The new face of Lyme could be YOU!
