Favorite Quote:
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." — Marilyn Monroe

What's wrong with me?
screaming,
a whisper
a talk
a scream--
frustration. Figure me out.
I want to run
laugh
play like a child
not worry
scream
talk
whisper.
diagnosis this demon
taking my mind
snatching my soul and
locking it.
I won't put it on you
this burden.
love you now
make you worry later?
No this is mine to deal with.
untouchable
unlovable.
because who would
love a beauty
who inside is a
beast.

I found out I have an imperfection on my brain's cerebellum, this is a poem inspired by the frustration of being a medical mystery.
