They ask,
How can I live?
And say,
They could not.
I laugh
and they laugh along.
Some days after,
They ask again,
How can I survive?
And say,
They wouldn't be able to.
I laugh again,
So they laugh along.
Now I ask myself,
How cursed am I?
& I let myself
Cry.
And when they ask again,
I just smile.
When I was 6 , my family found out that I have a disease called celiac disease or for short gluten/ wheat allergy , so basically I can't eat anything made from wheat , my lifestyle and diet is very different from those in my country, I am cut off from eating every thing outside.
So for ten years I have been constantly asked by my friends , cousins and sometimes very close friends , they joke , they ask , they pity , they sympathise , and they ask how can I live.
I don't know if it should have been me more tough to laugh and laugh again on the same question over and over again.
