Paraparesis 
Paraparesis is weakness in one or both legs

For years
My legs have been
Unreliable

For years
I've blamed it on
My weight

But I was wrong
It's another symptom
of MS

Paraparesis
weakness in my left leg
mostly

Every day
I get out of bed carefully
Will it hold?

It likes to
SURPRISE me
to be funny

But no humour found
when on the staircase
or out on town

Now a stick
stays close always
that's OK


Paraparesis can cause problems with walking and balance.  
It can also increase the risk of having a fall.
