NO ONE KNOWS ‘TILL I DISCLOSE.<br><br>
I have a stoma on my side<br><br>
but I will not retreat or hide.<br><br>
I see no need to expose it<br><br>
no one knows ‘till I disclose it.<br><br>
My stoma is just purposeful<br><br>
and I must live life to the full.<br><br>
I make the most of what I’ve got<br><br>
thus, I enjoy my life a lot.<br><br>
I don’t let things get in my way<br><br>
So get the best from every day.<br><br>
Mine’s a positive attitude<br><br>
which leaves me lots of latitude.<br><br>
My stoma does not interfere<br><br>
and neither does my stoma gear.<br><br>
There is no point to fuss with it<br><br>
for everyone must have to shit.<br><br>
Yet very few will share with you<br><br>
the ins and outs of their own poo.<br><br>
So why would those with stomas say<br><br>
how and when they poo each day.<br><br>
It’s not that people want to know<br><br>
or if they did they’d let it show.<br><br>
But if and when there’s interest<br><br>
I will explain, or do my best.<br><br>
So if the subject does arise<br><br>
it will not take me by surprise.<br><br>
I know my stoma inside out<br><br>
and can explain what it’s about.<br><br>
So though the stoma’s part of me<br><br>
I live my life and I am free.<br><br>
I will not tell until disposed<br><br>
so no one knows ‘till I disclose.<br><br>
