Stuck
I’m stuck in a body that no longer works.
A body that shudders, swells, hurts, and jerks.
I’m stuck in a body that makes me cry.
Feeling horrendous pain with no reason why.
I’m stuck with a brain that wants to understand.
What is causing these symptoms in my arms, legs, back, feet, and hands?
I’m stuck with a brain that needs a real reason.
An explanation why I miss out on life season after season.
I’m stuck with an invisible disease.
One that allows friends and family to see me laughing, smiling, while hiding my internal pleas.
I’m stuck with an invisible disease.
What will become of me???
