Description
It has become increasingly difficult as of late to verbalize my thoughts and feelings. I sometimes feel as hieroglyphics are leaving my lips and no one can understand me... people can SEE the words, but they don't HEAR them.
How can I expect anyone to understand what is going on inside of my mind, my soul, my heart & my body when I don't have the slightest clue? Any idea I DID have gets shoved away into a foggy blackened abyss and I can no longer differentiate between reality, dream, what is, what never was because of the tiny microscopic spirocites inside of me. Chronic Lyme Disease is a monster. It makes me feel like a monster. I feel/think/speak/love/hurt too deeply. I'm afraid to open my mouth, I'm afraid to speak, think, feel.
I'm tired of talking about it, speaking up and out about it, there is so much going on 'behind the scenes' that I could never dare utter a word... The constant injustices I'm witnessing and experiencing first hand have to be stopped. For now, I will remain tamed yet torn inside.
The owls always listen, they see, feel, more than any human ever has

I am amazed that you can take such a challenging disease and turn it into such beautiful art. This is lovely work! I don't know much about Lyme disease, but I will be praying for you, that God will strengthen your body and your spirit, and if it's His will, that He will cure you and make you whole again. Blessings! L/F
