POEM STARTER
'Itās all fun and games until someone gets hurt.'
Using this common saying as inspiration, write a poem about something that was meant to be good going wrong.
Pawn on the board
I donāt want pity
I donāt want shame
But i am really fucking sick
Of the never ending pain
My blood pressure is low
My heart rate is high
Iām dizzy and I am crying
It feels like Iām dying
āIts all fun and games till someone gets hurtā
What kind of twisted game is this?
Was I dealt a bad hand?
Or is it all just by chance?
I am 14 for fucks sake
And I am getting a cane
So I can walk and stand
But wouldnāt it be grand
If that was a given
Every day I wake up
Something else hurts
Or I am tired
Or something happened over night
My insulin pumps keep leaking
I need to eat less carbs
I take so many pills
Just to survive in this world
I am just so tired
Of never getting better
Of always feeling sick
Then feeling like I am faking it
I have a headache from sobbing
Because breakdowns happen
When your health
holds you back
I may graduate early
But i will never be fully better
I will nevwr have biological kids
Because why would I want a child to suffer like me
Will anyone love me?
I know people have it worse.
But the pressure in my chest
Means the anxiety is swelling
And my heart is beating fast
And I just want it to go away
So sometimes I dissociate
Or get lost in doing something else
Because if even for a moment
I can pretend Iām fine
It makes it a bit better
It seems like I am exaggerating
Because every day is different
I have my ups and downs
My highs and lows
But one thing remains consistent
I am never ever fine
And this sick game of life
Where I am a pawn on the board
Will it go on and on
Will My pawn get promoted
But the queen still feels pain
She just has a handkerchief
To wipe away the tears
(Sorry guys Ik itās another health one but i am running on 3.5 hours of sleep but i took 3 naps today and had soda so that added to it. I had a complete breakdown about my health today because i am just so sick of my body)
