This poem really resonates with me. “The medicine cabinet is where the monster and I meet to discuss terms” and “the body that cannot tell the difference between weather and war” are incredible lines that treat chronic illness and chronic pain like an actual battle with terms of surrender.
Chronic illness is a war and my heart goes out to each and every person who has been belittled and/or dismissed because they did not appear to be suffering “enough” for care.
