Acrostic Poem, Written by Keira for Invisible Illness Week
In one visit, like every visit, with every doctor
Needing; desperate for hope
Vague, but excruciating symptoms causing angst, fatigue, pain, cold, exhaustion
I listened and I talked; I begged and I cried; I prayed that you could be my
Savior; my solution
Instead,
Blame cast on my psychology; internalization and resignation
Loneliness, darkness, rage, spiraling down
Encapsulating me
(Bio) Keira 35 – year old Hashimoto’s patient and thyroid cancer survivor
