SEVERE M.E. DAY, 8TH AUGUST 2024
"SPECTRE AT THE FEAST"...
For All My Dear M.E. Friends, Especially Those With Severe M.E.
Another pain-filled early-morning,
3 a.m. ...
With P.E.M* ...
M.E. triggered painful warning,
That I have over-done ...
Again ...
It's one of Life's great mysteries,
"Over-done" ...
When I can do so little ...
It's really almost laughable -
But my laughter's forced,
Hollow,
Brittle ...
It seems a contradiction in terms ...
That one can be alive -
But not living ...
Unseen at Life's feast ...
Forbidden to eat ...
Severe M.E. takes all -
Unforgiving ....
* P.E.M. - post-exertional malaise
