Prickly heart, open please.

My illness - she follows me around.  She is both gentle and harsh at the same time. Although she may seem arbitrary, she has a pattern and a path (that I don't fully understand) - she is smart. She is a she because she feels feminine, more than anything else. So I describe her as if she is human, because she is alive. Not only is she alive, but she is attached to my living body; inseparable.

She takes a lot of different forms, merges into different shapes. She is an embodiment of my trauma . She is always with me, and I love her. I'm attached to her, yet she causes me a lot of pain. I have learned to be okay with it. Even if it's excruciating when someone leaves me. Even when it's a result of my own impulsive and reckless choices. Even when i'm so lost I can't think straight and when I don't know what is real and what is not anymore.
