Shades of Strength

There was something

Hidden beneath the

Tired eyes

The painful sighs

The bumps

And bruises

The and

That came

From

Knowing

Life was

A temporary gift.

Someday

She would be free

In paradise

And she looked

Forward to that

Day

But

For now

She would deal with

The pain

A body

That didn’t

Always cooperate.

But life

Was not

Defined

By amputated

Limbs

And a body

That didn’t fully

Work

It was painted
