one who grunts in monosyllables
and rolls her eyes for exercise
rather than the one
sitting stiff against her bed
coz to move is to trigger
excruciating pain
Bring on the grumpy know- all-teen
who'd rather walk 10 feet
away from me in public
not the one
curled up in bed, facing the wall
silent tears pooling in her eyes
biting back unnamable fears
she is both
but I'd give anything
for her to be
just the one.
