A story in a story is a series of poems I've done talking about hemophilia, using poems to spread awareness. Hemophilia in itself is a story cause it trickles down generations like how a story does. Like in my case, my mum was the carrier, and she gave birth to three boys, 2 of which got hemophilia. My experience and that of my brother are different but we relate cause treatment and management of hemophilia cuts across. Its been a journey already and there's still more ahead. I've lived by the principle that no day is given that's why i make the most of my good days cause when I do get bleeds into my joints it hinders me from fully going about my day to day life.
Let me tell you all about hemophilia
By painting this picture that hopefully will be clear
Cause I want to create awareness for its something dear,
to me so I'll make it simple so that to you it becomes familiar
My big brother and I were born with hemophilia
At a time when little was known about it
When we thought we were all alone with it
Then with time we got to meet people with hemophilia
We tend to bleed into joints from time to time
The bleeds happen without being provoked
So unexpected that the joint swells its like blood has clocked
Into the joint and clearing out can take time
We can wake up to bleeding inside our mouth in clots
A simple tooth removal can be hectic, anything can happen
And bleeding at times can occur often
That's why we create awareness to resonate in everyone's thoughts
But there's hope that better days are coming
Cause as the years have gone more and more,
people are coming together, joining in the course aiding
Us to be able to each out to hemophilia victims, cause they're more
It's just that they've not had the chance to be known
The PO£T
