OUTSIDE LOOKING IN Copywrite October29,1994 Some viewed my attacks as though I committed a sin Never wanting to know the facts Always the first to give you the axe Tried so many doctors, it could make your head spin Running to so many you could wear yourself thin Dating was rare-Never to drive Made me feel I lived in my own little dive Mom, Dad, and little brother understood what went on It was serious stuff and never fun Employers never wanting to take that little chance Always believing insurance premiums would enhance Some People said,"Don't go near him,you'll get scared" Tell me really does that seem fair? People are afraid of what they don't understand Too afraid at times to lend a hand You can't catch it, it doesn't rub off You'll still be safe, even if I cough Its not the Black Plague or an unknown disease If you don't use your brain, it shall surely seize Feeling like Rudolph with his red nose People not wanting you in-the doors soon close Give us a chance and you may be surprised I may be a better friend than you realize Job markets are closed,except a few small Most of them saying, "We'll be afraid if you fall" Don't close me out- let my life begin I will go for the gusto to make me want to win You're still on the inside comfortably looking out That isn't what life is all about  |

I'm controlled now I'm coming back
Waking up in the morning jumping out of the sack
My new life-
I've been given is my greatest gift of all
I'm an average guy, not very tall
I used to say,
"I know I'm going to have another attack today"
That was my old life, dismal and grey
Now I can do almost anything as you
I can be happy, sad, but rarely blue
I'm here world, look at me
I just want a good job-
I'll just wait and see
Getting out in the world
Feeling like a part of the human race
Will make anyone happy,
putting a smile on their face
Living a life with a chance of a future for me
My surgeon says,
"You're still recuperating- We'll just wait and see"
I'm happy now- The best I've ever been
Only thing now is to try to get thin
Physically Strong, mentally alert and trying too
Some people say I'm trying harder than you
I don't care, I'm going to live
someday I may even give
It's a hard rocky road
I'm walking on straight
Feels so good
I have no time to hate
Family members gave me space to come out
I just ride my bike out and about
Things could have been worse but,
"Hey Johnny I'm back"
Cruising down life's race track
Good ending? It's only my beginning :)
