It's All or Nothing, Vale

by Andrea Beatriz Arango

will I hurt today or not?— to become part of my past and disappear from my future,

8 years of wishing and hoping. It never ends. I honestly think my pain is worse now that im older

My left ankle betrays me and I want to punch it

I swear they do it at the unconvient time. What do you mean when my knee decides i don't know what I'm doing anymore and fails to bear most of weight. Like im just trying to spray these buses because of our petri dishes getting us sick.

my leg feels like someone is hammering it from the inside out and I almost almost consider pulling out my cane.

So me. I avoid my brace even though i know it helps the pain and support it. I still don't wear it. I know its the ablism in me
