In honor of Sickle Cell Awareness Month in September, this poem is dedicated to everyone globally living with this deadly disease…
This disease
Invisible as this may seem
Looking at the colored lines
Between the IV lines…
Between the pain we are in
This isn’t a curse or a deadly sin
Does our skin color makes you wonder
When our eyes are filled with weakness?
Will you stop to help us out to show your kindness and meekness?
We are still pushed to the back
Like they did Rosa Parks on the black and white bus
Let this disease have a good fight just because
Just because we wish not to be invisible any longer
To stand out and to speak out
To get attention we deserve
To march up and stand strong
Sickle Warriors
Marching in one heard
Don’t dare push us away
We are here to stay
We are not scared any longer
Our voice needs to be heard
This disease isn’t invisible
It’s very much alive
It’s not a secret
We want justice!
And for you to confide
We have a voice
Standing firm
Sickle cell it’s your turn
To fight back
Not to allow the negativity to attack
We are strong
United
Free
This disease isn’t invisible
Just wait and see!
