Moebius Syndrome

This poem was not written by me - I don't know the name of the writer, but I just think that nothing desribes Moebius Syndrome better than this... 

There's a giggle in my belly

There's a smile in my soul

In my dreams I can talk clearly 

And my nerves I can control 

But in real life there is a problem

You can't see beneath my skin

So you look just on the surface

And you notice I can't grin

My face can't make a smile

And it's hard to close my eyes

I was born with Moebius Syndrome

What a name for a disguise

'Cause I am not this syndrome

I'm a me that's much like you

Though I may look slightly different

And I may at times seem blue

Some people think that laughter 

Must show right on your face

But if you've lived with Moebisu Syndrome

You'd know that's not the case

So teach your heart to listen

It will hear what you can't see

We will have the greatest friendship

If you stick around with me.
