50 - Chronic Fatigue/Me Poem by nicola burkett

Lazy a label i do not deserve
As i struggle to live with this demonic curse
Demons crawling
Inside my weary head
Chained up in a hell
That looks like my bed
An overwhelming effort
To make others understand
That the 'laziness' i carry
Is by some demonic hand
It's not my fault
I have done no wrong
I shout over and over
Like some tuneless song
I have spent14 months
Of constant sleeping
I have spent 14 months
Of painful weeping
My life turned upside down
My life maliciously taken away
Sold to the highest bidder
Without my knowledge or say
