A Living Nightmare
Dragging my assault like a ball and chain,
Crawling through a dream,
Fighting to stay awake.
Head pounding,
Swelling like a balloon ready to burst.
Memory clouded,
Responses slowed.
Bones stretched with ache,
Pins sparking –
Tiny lightning bolts beneath my skin.
Blinding lights,
Blurred vision.
This was the invisible injury
The public could not see –
A living nightmare
That changed my life.
