An Unraveling
Strength most of the time
chronically frayed like a wire worn
The 110 charge still packs a punch
When our normal lost our ability to consume lunch
In a regular fashion or an establishment of expectations any noon or morn.
Pieces do scatter, beginnings lose their place
Endings become the first
Instead of the last still we see grace
A reality playing hide & seek
Sparks scatter sending a burst
At the unraveling disguised
by a thorough need
for quality of life
Escaping negativity and pessimism
Chronic is now hiding its seeds
Never will one produce a root
Never would an unraveled, dehydrated, malnourished,
warrior put up a white flag
of surrender
Speaking isn’t actionable this is understood
We seek conquering -under duress
Before or after
After or Before the unraveling
Chronic warriors will choose empowerment of ourselves.
Development of a new protocol RX
We weave ourselves back together
Not perfect, not the same,
A functional raveling chronically blessedly
A side note:
While this isn’t my usual type of writing, as a chronic warrior living a chronic journey experience, it is a perspective many of us face with multiple diagnoses-varying degrees of symptoms and chronic dehydration along with malnutrition. This isn’t surprising considering how long my body has dealt with chronic illnesses all of these years.
What is difficult? The real facts. The quick thinking slowing, my organization skills slowing, and efficient order of past skills slipping at a noticeable difference. Acceptance of the aforementioned facts is a chronic journey experience growth step. 🙂
