Maybe I’m asking too much
I’m not just asking for compassion
But trust in my words
Taking my truth at face value
The whole is greater than the parts
You may have had my symptoms before
But living with them everyday
Is a different experience
When you break a bone
Eventually the cast comes off
When you get a cold
Eventually you get better
I live in a world where better is relative
There is no perfect health to have
When living in a broken body.
