Inktober Day 8: Frail

8/10/2019

0 Comments

 
Frail;
People think I'm frail and weak
but in reality I'm not what you think

I'm strong and brave in my own special way.
and what people think of me doesn't make me sway

I may have a condition that affects my ability
But I live with this nightmare you couldn't begin to dream of

I walk against the tides of discrimination
With a spring in my step and my head held high

So if you dare try and shame me, if you say I'm lazy
Just know I face this illness with weapons of courage and a shield of hope

So don't go saying I'm frail and weak
because in reality I'm not what you think

I'm strong and I'm courageous in my own special way
and living with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is only for the brave
