Internal jabs waking up with symptoms that nobody sees
symptoms that I also don't share- but today I do-
Stories of my body that live within themselves,
their battles silent but ferocious,
their rhythms constant,
parts of me.
Living knowing that someday it'll be overcome, or not,
hope matters, but the result does not-
It's the strength it gives me,
the cloak of invisibility over this other life
that walks up the slopes with me and celebrates all achieved by triple,
the empathy taught,
the constant encouragement, whispers alone between us two
when for an instant some part breathes and lets me dance in another reality.
Losing the parts of me with which I wish to part,
to see them come back between the shadows of silence,
noisy palpitations like scratchy echoes
between the veins of my head.
Loyal companion, some days heavier, some days more subtle,
always by my side, I don't remember how to live without you,
but someday I'll say goodbye,
the only goodbye for which I have always been ready.
