as the world awakes

Sometimes I believe my body is cursed

When I am burdened with all this pain

Wearing my disability like a bright, red stain

I think ahead to many years when it’ll be worse

When I can’t pick up a pen or unbutton my shirt

Or finish school or start a career

When more and more limitations start to appear

Sometimes I believe my body is cursed
