I have a monster,
that lives in me,
He has taken up residency
and will not flee
He moved on in
without a trace,
Didn't knock or ask
He just took up space
This monster you see,
is a master of disguises,
he takes on many forms, shapes and sizes
Now you won't see him on
CT's, xrays or mri's
He even takes the doctors by surprise
They scratch their heads
and twittle their thumbs
trying to figure out where he came from
No, he rather be a bully
A bully to me
throwing around pain
as if it were free
A little twist, a little turn,
he squeezes my muscles
until they burn
A sharp stab here, a deep throbb there,
he will even cause tender points that I just can't bare
He thinks it's funny that I forget
or that my gait and balance is offset
He weakens my muscles
and dulls my strength,
He loosens my grip
so things fall out of place
Twirling and spinning he does this with pride
to make me feel dizzy and nauseous inside
He grips my head until it aches,
and cripples me with fatigue as soon as I wake.
He will stomp on my feet,
and twist my hands
make me ache all over as much as he can
I think his goal is to make me insane
lose all hope
as I go down in pain
I won't be fooled by the good days I have
I'll shop and clean and act like my old self
only to be tricked by the touch of his hand
why he can't let me have all the fun
he's my number one fan!
Maybe one day he will grow tired
put down his guns, and finally retire
Give up his tricks, and let them be known,
where he comes from, and his real home.
hopefully soon the the doctors will find out
what's up with this monster and what he's all about
Until then I will live day by day
taking each step, with him in the way.
