The Beasts Within...

Hello and happy spring! Or kind of spring where I am- we have been having frost warnings. Awesome, huh? All some of us want to do is to garden! Or attempt to garden :) Anyways, here's a little something I wrote one day not too long ago. Read it and take a guess what it's about...

The Beasts Within

The beasts within

Fight me everyday

They do not care

If it’s day or night

The taking of my body is what they so desire

The giving in of my mind and my entire empire

If I believed in sin, this would be them.

Their marks come on hard, rough

Their only goal is to take me down.

My only goal?

To not let the beasts win

My body being ripped in two

If others only knew

The feelings flood over me

Fever, the burning, the throbbing, the chills

Unable to walk, unable to talk

As they tear and claw their way to the top

The question always is

Who will win? Me or them?

As I watch the scene unfold,

I scream and it remains to be seen…

Well? If you guessed it's about werewolves then you're correct! Haha, I lied, it's about shape shifters. Not quite, I lied again. It is however about my lovely Behcet's & Fibro fighting inside my body to see which one will take over. Lately it's been strictly the Behcet's. Love those night sweats, mouth ulcers, extreme fatigue, and fevers. I just can't seem to get enough of those symptoms lately. And don't forget it's rainy season so swelling ahoy! How many of you get nightmares with the fevers? It seems mine always go hand in hand. Good times. I keep hoping my energy will make a come back but apparently it's on strike. Hope everyone is enjoying their spring and may you be as pain free as possible, full of energy, and full of happiness and other crap :)

Can you tell I miss gardening by the quotes? :)
