no, not the kind that wraps around
heart and soul and paralyses
the kind that wraps around limbs and brain and makes the eyes heavy
mind numbing fatigue
that turns limbs into lead
that turns limbs into lead
fighting
words and actions that form as shadows
then slip away--
that is life with chronic fatigue
that is life with chronic fatigue
Hi Kateri, Lovely poem but unfortunate subject matter. One of my good friends has Chronic Fatigue so I am a little bit familiar with its symptoms. Have an excellent Friday tomorrow and a nice weekend, too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like me during kidding season. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood descriptive poem!
ReplyDeleteGreat expression of your feelings. Not something that would be easy to deal with.
ReplyDeleteyes, i agree with what has been said...except for the kidding season.
