When they fixed me
the broke me
Outside I am alive
inside I have been torn apart
living with the constant risk
the glue they call my skin and bones
one day won’t stick
‘no doctor will ever operate on you again’
the ultrasound lady told me today
adding that I had a hint of hernia
asking if they had removed my abdomen
‘no’, I answered
immediately knowing
that now
for sure
my dreams of someday
someone
would call me ‘mom’
had been shattered
in that very moment
When the fixed me
the broke me
and my dream
