Shades of Strength
May 18, 2024
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
