Elbow

It's odd, having a broken bone.

I am not out of breath
In fact, I have a lot of energy
Behaving as I behave
I feel perfectly healthy.

It is one flaw. One flaw alone.
A single broken bit of functionality

I could jump if asked.
And I would jump high
Bend my working legs
Then zoom to the sky

I can't rotate my left arm even a degree
The muscle memory keeps making me pained

I can write and draw
I can give a great high five
I can still throw a frisbee
I feel so alive!

I feel so limited. So very restrained.
Like an alphabet missing a letter

I can't wait to go outside
And live life in all it's glory
To embrace with a big hug
The chances that are before me

So I will improve. I must. get. better.
