stabiliser

it stole my youth

now i refuse to believe

the age i turn

rotten tooth

should have fixed me

at that young malleable age

before adulthood ripped

me away from budding

new

freedom

the new medicine works

the crying isn’t as much

the stairs don’t hurt

my eyes can move

the new medicine works

it is fine

i am still tired

it is fine

i can be tired

i can remember

i want to get up

i don’t flinch

it doesn’t hurt

i can sleep easily

i can breathe easily

the new medicine works

i shower easily

christmas doesn’t hurt

snow doesn’t bleed

my teeth and gums are

not aching

or melting

like snow

i don’t show

i can work

i can read

nothing hurts

nothing bleeds
