You think you own me/ squeezed my
life in your palms/ taken over my body.
you think you are me/ Lupus/ you think because you've hijacked this
vessel that you're captain/ you think you can get away with mutiny/
but see/ I'm still the same me/ the same beautiful butterfly floating
on the breeze/ I ain't scared to
wrestle the wind/ to battle raynaud's thorns/
Not afraid to diss this disease/ to find peace/ be at ease with this
disease/ I miss my old life but I'm fashioning a new
one with this disease/ in no way am I saying this is easy/
The way my cells fight themselves/ that my chest being in a cage of
pleurisy/ that my scalp crying strands of my hair/ that the pain in
my knees which interfere with my prayers/ makes it hard to sometimes
find the joy in life/ makes the sun less bright/ but I know no matter
what there's nothing that'll take away my fight/ When it seems to
make my day feel like night/ I'll still reach for a star / when it
seems my world spins left/ I've resolved to force it to revolve
right/ and even if my limbs refuse to move/ my spirit will still
dance/ Every day I'm going to choose to enhance
this universe with my presence in any way I can/
Lupus is not me/ but it's the spark that created a flame/ my disease
is not me/ but it's the source of my vanity lupus you can't damage
me/ cause my body isn't all I possess I still have a
purpose a reason to smile I'm still living my life with no regrets.
