Poems on Chronic Illness

A striking debut, poetry on chronic illness, delivered by a spoonie

Book cover for 'The Body's Betrayal' by Violet E. Roseberry, featuring an artistic illustration of torn pieces revealing eyes and a hand holding a pin against a blue background.

The Body’s Betrayal is a debut collection about screams of a young woman, haunted by the excruciating pain…

A simple broken bone turns into pain that keeps one up at night.

“The pain is going to pass.”, they say and write off cold medicine. But it does not end.

All day every day, the pain continues getting worse, reaching His hand all over her body.

Without a warning, she becomes a chronic pain patient crying for help, hoping this ongoing torture will end soon.

Walking from one clinic to another, though not running because she cannot run. All while she is not even 16.

From a teen with big dreams to a soul trapped in a broken body, this collection gives you a glimpse of living with chronic illness….
