Sense Sonnet - Acher

Full Time Patient

My immune system is haywire.
It has been since an early age,
When white blood cells I did acquire
From my sister, due to my stage
Of leukemia. Remission
Did occur, but then I began
To get diseases, hit and run,
That still plague me as a young man.
If there is a medical test,
Then I have had it, that's for sure.
Examined by medicine's best,
No why is found, much less a cure.

It's hard living a mystery,
But it's easy to ask, "Why me?"
