Ill is me

Illness plagues my fate,

But it's not a sickness you can see.

Unlike the plagues of late,

This illness is inside of me.

Twisting and blurring, my vision always churning.

I simple smile distorted,

flipped and contorted.

A tiny change can spread the fire.

This illness has invisible trip wires.

Inside my head it's always lurking.

Coughing sputtering, my mind over working.

To combat a demon yet unseen.

The plagues of old took every queen.

Will I fall to the same earthly demise?

Or will the illness shatter what's behind my eyes?

An endless battle I wage every day.

Who will when no one can say?

The eb and flow of emotions journey.

How many more days until I hurt me?
