When You Don't 'get Better' Poem by kai kaiser

When you don't "Get better"

It started as a simple injury
Just wear a brace and stay out of gym class for 2 weeks
It should heal quickly
2 weeks pass, then 3, then 4
It still doesn't feel better
The doctors say, "Everything looks normal."
So you start thinking you're crazy
That's when chronic illness begins
You never "get better"
The injury never heals
You keep wearing the brace, and you stay out of gym
It keeps getting worse
You will never "get better"
