Broken Boy
He never gets better.
Discs rupture.
Cysts develop.
His foot drops
and migraines pound.
From afar he insists
he’s doing just fine,
all things considered.
I appreciate the lie,
but I know he’s a broken boy.
And it hurts my heart.
He never gets better.
Discs rupture.
Cysts develop.
His foot drops
and migraines pound.
From afar he insists
he’s doing just fine,
all things considered.
I appreciate the lie,
but I know he’s a broken boy.
And it hurts my heart.
