Inside Looking Out

A/N: I wrote this from the perspective of my friend going through osteosarcoma. Unlike Mountain (also written about her), it delves deeper into the frustrations she is facing right now.Going from having everything (freedom, health, friends, independence) to having it suddenly stripped from you in oneblasted day, you damn right that's harsh. So, this is for that special person and what she feels about the entire situation.

---

She goggles,

And she's still befuddled.

Staring that masked woe in the face.

They inform her the cancer

Is going to change the way her leg is placed.

She tries understanding, nodding like she knows,

The dead cells inside will try claiming her, but this Satan has to go!

What's the worst case scenario?

Being boxed off or allowed entry?

She looks behind glass bars.

The cuts are painless when you can't see stars.

She waits for clad armor and clasps her steel sheilds.

Waits when there's a future left to call "real."

Watching life on hold should qualify as watching paper-view!

Besides feeling the aching, there's nothing else to do.

Can you concieve now, blind ones?

Are you to recieve reason?

She's stuck on the inside looking out with strife

Be happy your outside, you're at least living life!
