Today’s prompt: “Write a haiku about your health focus. 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables. Write as many as you like.”
Hate my arthritis
I’ve never been normal so
Don’t know what I miss?
Arthritis is not
just what your grandparents had
It is so much more
Wake up with stiffness
15 pills a day or more
Fuck you fucking pain
People judge me cause
They think I’m fat and lazy
I’ve got arthritis
Wish I was normal
Just maybe for one whole year
I so miss running
Body hates itself
Medications can’t fix it
Is this forever?
Got pain every day
Nothing really seems to help
Will it ever stop?
Hi Hunny 🙂 lovely poems…makes me want to try and write one too 🙂 You are not alone xoxo – Melissa Sonno Del Drago
I feel like I really should've included happy ones, but what to say haha. You should write some and share them. It was soothing just to get them out there. Xoxoxoxoxo
