You Don't Look Sick
I don't intend to show you.
The deficiencies and scars and wounded places.
The mental and physical gymnastics performed to leave the house.
What a compliment and a curse to be confused as a healthy person.
To pretend that living with chronic illnesses is easy and natural.
If I'm being honest, I like to fool myself sometimes, too.
It gives me a little break from ruling the invisible kingdom beneath my skin.
