I thought this poem I asked Deep Seek to write would be appreciated



**The River Within**  
Beneath the skin, a river flows,  A lifeline where the body knows  The balance of the salt and tide,  The ebb of health, the pull of pride.  


But sometimes, currents slow and stall,  The kidneys falter, weakened, small.  The toxins rise, the balance breaks,  The body aches, the spirit shakes.  
Yet hope remains in steady hands,  A machine that hums, a bridge that stands. 

 Dialysis, the gentle art,  A second chance, a beating heart.  
The blood is drawn, a crimson thread,  Through filters where the waste is shed.  The fluid cleansed, the balance restored,  A fragile peace, a quiet accord.  


It’s not a cure, but still a gift,  A way to heal, a way to lift  The weight of sickness, the shadow of pain,  To find the light, to live again.  
So here we sit, in chairs aligned,  Bound by the ties of humankind.  Each drop of blood, each breath we take,  A testament to what’s at stake.  


The river flows, though changed, though strained,  Its course adjusted, its purpose gained.  For life persists, through trial and test,  And in the struggle, we find our rest. be appreciated
