You Don't Look Sick

$250.00

I don't intend to show you.

The deficiencies and scars and wounded places.

The mental and physical gymnastics performed to leave the house.

What a compliment and a curse to be confused as a healthy person.

To pretend that living with chronic illnesses is easy and natural.

If I'm being honest, I like to fool myself sometimes, too.

It gives me a little break from ruling the invisible kingdom beneath my skin.

Original Watercolor, 11” x 14”

This work comes framed with a white mat border that is 16”x 20” in size.
