That made me smile alot thanks x

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed them.

Here's another funny one I wrote..(If you want me to stop let me know! lol)

The Morning After


Tis the morning after,
The night before,
I open my eyes slowly,
And find myself sprawled on the floor,
Vague memories of dancing,
Of Tibetan midgets and whores,
Fill my mind,
As I promise never again nevermore,
What did I get up to?
I have no clue,
Then with gripping terror,
I notice I now have a tattoo,
Who is Sonia?
Where does she fit into my life?
Looking at the tattoo,
It seems she is now my wife,
Orange juice from now on,
I make this solemn oath,
As I stagger to the kitchen,
To make some dry toast,
The time for apologies,
Must now begin,
The only question that remains,
whose damn house am I in?

Another one made me smile lol ty XXXSUEXXX

Hi Oli

Hope your feeling brighter today. Know how you feel about the bag I had one for 22 weeks and 3 day (not that I was counting), last time i had a op they wanted me to sign to say I would have a bag if need.  I refused, don't know if I really mean it but said I would rather die than have a bag again.  Sorry to all those who live happily with a bag, not being disrespectful just find it hard to get my head round it.  Even though when I had a bag I was completely pain free.

Good luck

Hi Kim

Thanks for the words xxx Its good to know someone else understands where I'm coming from. Having a colostomy at 17 destroyed my life physically and mentally. It took almost 10 years for me to regain my sanity. The thought of going through all that again really is too much to bear.

Now I have the worry of bowel cancer too. I'm 33 years old and all I have to look forward to is darkness, pain and misery. I've never known happiness. I've never known love. From age 6 to present the only friend I have ever had is suffering.

I don't know how much longr I can go on.

Alone at night,
Lying in bed,
Demons plague my soul,
And I wish I were dead.

As I slip deep into slumber,
Lucifer awakens,
Chortles with glee,
And piles more weight on my shoulders.

I dream of a life,
Cursed and damned,
Trapped forever,
In a hellish land.

I am told dreams are just dreams,
They have no bearing on fate,
But what is there to do,
When you are not dreaming but awake?

Jezzzzzzzz Oli

Bought a tear to my eye that one did, makes me realise that what i am going through probably isnt to bad. Although the constant pain, the constant bouts of diarrhoea and the constant bouts of throwing up arent right.

Keep hanging in there

Hi Ian

I'm sorry to everyone if I sound a bit dark or sorry for myself. I really don't want to scare people unnecessarily so I apologise if I have. Maybe I should try and lighten up a little.

Hi Oli

No need to be sorry. With something like Crohn's people need to know the good sides and the dark sides so they can plan for what might happen and if it doesnt happen then that is a real bonus.

Hang in there

Ian

Yep Oli don't fret about it, if you can't tell people here how you're feeling then where else can you go. You've been through a lot and it'd be a bloody miracle if you were always cheerful. In fact your ability to make poems about it both serious and amusing reminds me of a kids programme my daughter used to watch called Ruby Gloom. The theme song goes something along the lines of "Look on the bright side of the dark side". I hope you have more of the good days than the bad ones, I guess that's all most of us can hope for!

Cheers guys

Btw..what the heck happened to the forum?!

Frank "didn't touch a thing" according to Twitter...a likely tale I say

lol

He probably pushed the big red button marked DO NOT PRESS! Gets people every time...

LOL

Bet he is sat there saying "It wasnt me! i never touched a thing

Hi Oli,

Thanks for the Pooey Poem, made I laff.

Don't give up fella, there's plenty of people routing for us all out there.  With every year, treatments change, attitudes change, there's hope for us all (I hope!!!!!).

I'm not quite sure how you can live your life to the full without treatment, so perhaps give the treatment a chance, even if it's the last chance you give it.

I found this site when I was feeling very down, cried when I typed out my problems, and with the support offered here, felt better for it, I know you will find honest support here, people can understand the dark days, feel for you when you are down, and you can write the poems to pick us up!!!!

Take care Oli
