Diseased

Cells.

Saviors mistaken, and fall for them,
Disguised cells within, hiding,
Cleverly causing harm. A mishap,
Chaotic, chronic condition.

Insulin. No more insulin.
Shots taken: nine, ten, eleven,
In order to return
Back to original condition.

She cries, abdominal pain causing
Her tears to to roll down her skin.
Her hand clutching,
The left side of her ribs.

Breathing. Breathe in air with pain,
With utter pain and desperation.
Savior mistaken, no more haven,
Nor protection of her beautiful within.

No aid. No medicine.
Living a miracle. Living a punishment.
The weekdays and weekends.

Did you see her?

Never. Nothing ever happened...
Through it all, she kept smiling.

Beautifully strange.
Unbelievable. Confusing.
