Surviving

Being born with a congenital heart defect severe enough that it took ten operations to fully correct should have killed me. But I survived.

Contracting measles when I was three, putting me back in the hospital for two weeks, that should have killed me. But I survived.

We never did find the driver who ran me over as I walked to the mall. A dozen screws and three plates makes airports fun. But I survived.

I’ve spent most of my life fighting through illness and injury. But I survived.

This broken heart, I’ll survive.

Not sure I want to though.
