In a word
Is how I feel
Inadequate
No longer wanted
No longer needed
Forgotten since
I became a useless person
Unable to work
Unable to do a lot of things
Some days I can barely get through
Taking them moment but moment
Friends have moved on
To others who can keep up
Family doesn’t visit
Afraid they’ll wear me out
Even those closest to me
Dismiss me as unimportant
The only thing that I can say
Is chronic illness is a lonely life
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – inadequate
