A poem about hypothyroidism

My poem about living with hypothyroidism

This poem. It’s about hypothyroidism and it’s perfect.

I’ll be okay – a poem I wrote about hypothyroidism.

I’ll be okay, but my memory is not all there.

I’ll be okay, but I live in despair.

I’ll be okay, but I can never find the energy.

I’ll be okay, it’s part of my identity.

I’ll be okay, but my muscles do ache.

I’ll be okay, if only for my children’s sake.

I’ll be okay, but to get up is a struggle.

I’ll be okay, despite all this trouble.

I’ll be okay, my bloods say I’m “normal”

I’ll be okay, although I may dawdle.

I’ll be okay, even when words come out wrong.

I’ll be okay, though it’s hard to be strong.

I’ll be okay, days I rise and days I fall.

I’ll be okay, even when I’m not even a little bit, not even at all.

A short poem I have written detailing daily symptoms living with Hypothyroidism for the past 8 years. It’s a subject very close to my heart and it was wonderful to be able to articulate the feelings into a poem.
