Ode to a Bar
December 12, 2018
You are with me
morning, noon and night.
stuck to me at the side
screws tightly wound deep in my bones
you hurt me.
your sleek, smooth
shiny appearance
is a mask
For the sharp,aching pain
you give me
But i need you.
for without you breathing would be nothing but
a gasp for air.
when I let you in
You broke me, scarred me
and yet
here I am carrying you around.
Your weight is heavy in my chest.

I have a pectus bar in my chest. It has been a huge part of my life. I have gone through so many struggles trying to adjust to my new life. So many rules and regulations to keep myself safe from this thing thats supposed to save my life in the first place.
