This is excellent. You've taken a huge subject and described it so well in a small space while keeping your form and rhyme. The feelings you showed in this remind me of how it is to have mental illness (my brother was schizophrenic) and someone with a chronic pain condition as I have could also relate to the feelings of wanting to just be like everyone else. My own quest for that has caused me no end of injuries when I pushed myself too far. Great poem.
and very distressing for the victim
and for loved ones.
