I have another entity
It does not have a name
I’d like it please to go away
But here it does remain
It wakes with me most mornings and
It rears its ugly head
I medicate and dose it
while it pins me to the bed
It likes to sit upon my neck
and twist my shoulder blades
It kicks and bites each tender leg
Throws punches to my brain
It jabs the knife in sleepless eyes
and buzzes in each ear
I want the medicine to work
It laughs at me and leers
My hands are tight and swollen
and my fingers work no more
It pinches bones inside my feet
as they hit the floor
I stumble to the bathroom
holding walls as I do creep
I reach again for aspirin
drink water cold and deep
Regrouping in the blankets
to close my tired eyes
I twist and turn in darkness
while I pray for its demise
And wait again to sleep
And wait for blessed sleep
Dude, your other entity is a jerk, Morgan! =(
Woke up with the bloody entity screaming at me inside; by the time I was finished with the entry, it had backed off to a manageable place. It is about chronic pain which feels sometimes as if it is a person all unto itself. Did that come across?
It came across to me. Sounds positively miserable.
some days are better than others
