Not myself, Again by Rhonda Maneki
The floor swallowed
me up, in a swoop of
weakness I fell,
everything spun
out of control,as
the world dissolved
into confusion.
My mind,steadied yet,
my body gave way to
the all too familiar
disorientation,
Another b12 shot
to fix it?
As if one every two days is not enough -
and its not enough, never enough!Nothing is enough!
My nerve endings fray
and shatter,I can feel
it, as the Myelin sheath
erodes away. My last
nerve screams.
...I scream...
Another glass of
electrolytes?
Another handful
of Enzymes,
Guiafenisen,
another three
vitamins easy
to absorb,
of course.
Another calcium tab,
no wait make that 2
to be sure, another
and another.
I'm tired!
Suddenly,
"Another"
something,
hauls me back
to " feel good".
for a time.
Another day,
I want to
fight back,
Another day,
I don't cave
in,then another
day like today,
I'm alive
and living.
