    sick boy

     when i was a child very much like death
    pain was in my heart and head
    migraines in those darkened rooms
    nausea spins on a witches broom
    fractured with my knees to chest
    mother somehow helped me rest
    growing, aching, crying, breaking
    what a deal the devils' making
    shunned of recreated fun
    i learned to live without the sun
    and all my friends who took my toys
    forgot about this little sick boy
    but i survived, alive you see
    those aches and pains turned into me.

    Awww :((( I hate to even think about a child suffering. Very moving. I'm glad you have physically recovered!

    Dark pasts give us foundations on which to build a brighter present, and a hopeful future. Just be glad the sick boy wasn't also twisted...but then, only twisted people have any fun ;) Great write, brother.

    The fates have an unusual way of balancing it out in the end don't they. Hopefully they were successful in giving you those things now that you couldn't enjoy then. If your picture is true, then you sure don't look sick anymore. Sorry for the loneliness and longing you sufferred if this was you. But write on.....

    yeah, i had horrible migraines as a child and spent many a summer day indoors, in dark rooms. but after those midgraines would pass, i ALWAYS felt like a million dollars.
