Blood clots through the leg
blood clots through the arm
In ICU keeping a smile
but still inside I'm torn

One through my lung
One pressing on my heart
How does this end
How did it even start

Doctors and hospitals
every week
When people ask why
I feel like a freak

With everything I try
there is a risk of dying
sometimes I feel like giving up
I ask why am i trying

Bruises from the shots
that I must endure
At times I'd rather die
than take this anymore

I stay strong
but inside I want to let go
why would god do this
does anyone know

Almost 16
Not a worry in the world
Until the words blood clots
is what i heard


The author's comments:
In July of 2012 I was rushed to Texas children's Hospital because a few weeks before that I had bad pains in my lung and a couple weeks later my arm was swelling and turning purple. My leg started to hurt soon after that no doctors could figure it out. No one knew what was happening because blood clots are not common in teens. Well I had blood clots bad and this is just my experience and the pain and struggles I went through.
