~A Tempoary Truce From The Army CFIDS~
The enemy
is invading
bombarding me
with all it’s got
yet I do not
bleed.
Talking is hard
throat swollen
the color of a rose
growing in my garden
back home.
Skin being blasted
by the sand
I think it will
drive me mad
the itching
the scratching
scratching
itching . . .
Mussels die
joints swell
eyelids inflate
as the heat
rises
water
I need water
everything
becomes
and effort.
Tired
yes
so tired
feel’s like I
haven’t slept
forever.
Hard to think
to comprehend
I hear there
voices in my head
they use to tell me
that
dying was better
then this
I know now
that was a lie.
My body
is attacking it’s self
there is no cure
so what
no big deal
anymore
“This too shall pass”
tomorrow is
another day
and maybe
just maybe
I’ll awake to find
a white flag
blowing free
in the fresh air
over the
battlefield
a temporary truce
having been
called.
Temporary
is all
“we” can
hope
for.

The visage of Hell is so personal. But I like to think if we look beyond the obvious, it is applicable to all the torments of human nature.

(The only thing you left out here was those damned parasitic bugs that lay their eggs inside of you---pussing up to reveal a newborn--WEEKS later.)

Thank you for the read.

This describes what I hope for in my life when I awaken each morning.
A temporary truce..with myself sometimes, Im sure of it.
Nice read, Peace
