The Cycle Begins
As some of you all know I suffer from an affliction besides dealing with Diabetes I also have Psoriaisis and that is basically a condition where my immune system is out of whack a little. It makes my skin work overtime in repairing itself leaving me with leasions of scabby skin. Now my affliction is mild compared to others I know and those people some are close to me have it worse. So I decided to write this little passage to express how I feel and I know how some of my friends feel with this same affliction. So without any more further delays I present to you this piece I called The Cycle Begins I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it…Darth Chew formerly The Exalted One formerly The Chew….P.S. this is dedicated to my bud Squish who is like family to me…
The Cycle Begins
By R.F. Cisneros
I awaken with my skin tight as a drum.
My skin itches and burns leaving me pained
I close my eyes as I succumb
I awake with my sheets blood stained
The sweet sensation of scratching the itch
The relief of lotions on my sores
Idea of the pain in my skin makes me twitch
Medicines give hope and open a new door
Feelings of hope and anguish come to mind
The relentless feeling of hurt and disgust
Knowing the outcome and the cost as I resigned
Hoping I can find someone whom I can find and trust
Someone who can understand my plight
The desperate need for comfort from my strife
Someone who will not run from me out of fright
Knowing I must accept the story of my life
As I become used to my affliction
Hopeful one day this burning pain will be gone
I walk alone with this condition
And, the world will see this fight cannot be won
I hope to be breathe easier each day
Knowing that my skin will never be cured
So I conclude the day the same way
Of the longing and pain I have endured
I place my head down feeling numb
Hungry to relieve me of this pain
I awaken with my skin tight as a drum
As the cycle begins again
