Incurable Pain

Picture courtesy of simpleartwithrose

An invisible shroud
placed upon my body
By fates or Gods or happen chance
I do not know nor ever will I

Perhaps I was meant to be
a great leader of nations
Bringing peace and goodwill
to a world turned so dark

Or a great warrior among women
vanquishing injustice and setting things right
Whatever it was that was preordained
has been circumvented by physical pain

Instead of fighting for good
in a world filled with effluent evil
I have been set to fight myself each day
with a smile to hide my grinding jaw
