By K Sangeetha
You took away the spring time of my life when I was about to bloom
You made me feel remote
You gave me bruises
You gave me intolerable pains
Screaming every night oh lupus let me live
Every single day I fought a battle just to breathe normally
I cried desperately for the life I wanted
I never wanted to look at myself because I looked healthier and healthier
Then came a day you took away my bean shaped organs
Oh! Lupus you failed I conquered you and I am back
Now, when I stand in front of the mirror I say to myself I need a normal life as a normal girl with all my dreams turning real
Yes, then I realised you still have left an impression on me
Where people no longer look at me as an ordinary person
Better late than never
When I have conquered you nothing in this world is hopeless for me.
