She was cursed from her day of birth,
as she entered with an inevitable disease,
all structures are brittle from the start,
but since then her pain has not eased.

Life begins in such a fragile state,
equal beginnings as we're all disadvantaged,
throughout it all only one thing matters,
do you possess the will to manage?

Time after time it happens again,
her inner solidity has been broken,
she was once held together perfectly,
and now the truth remains unspoken.

Her instructions were full of deceit,
for the healers could not possibly know,
as they protected her from further damage,
in shame her head lay low.

She was punished with anger,
from pain she could not prevent,
she wondered why she was tortured,
her life was full of discontent.

She suffered emotionally as well,
for her heart was pure,
throughout her tragedies in life,
it's known that nothing great is for sure.
** I was born with a calcium deficiency and have suffered through a total of 9 broken bones throughout my life - and counting lol. **
