INVISIBLE WEIGHTS

A Fibromyalgia Fatigue day for me today.

Here's a glimpse of what that feels like, expressed through a short piece of poetry.

INVISIBLE WEIGHTS

Imagine lead weights

wrapped around your body,

invisible chain-mail armour,

you never chose to wear.

Imagine your head

held tightly in a vice,

thoughts squeezed thin,

words lost somewhere

between mind and mouth.

Imagine legs wading

through heavy boggy ground,

in leaded boots sinking deeper

with every step.

That is my day today

with fibromyalgia fatigue.
