On Throwback Thursdays I want to share some older Poems and Posts of me.
This time I chose to share a poem I wrote last year about battling an invisible illness.
As most of you might know, I have PTSD.
But I also have Crohns and HMS (Hypermobility Syndrome)
All invisible, but all very real and chronic.
So this one is for all of you who are battling an invisible illness and have to deal with the judgment of people who can’t see your struggles.
Stay Strong! You are Awesome!
The Invisible…
–
Captured
Inside my own body
Fighting
To stay sane
Chained
Never free…
Fighting
Against the pain
Locked
Inside my skin
Fighting
The frustration
Imprisoned
Never released
Fighting
The irritation
Unsaved
Without relief
Fighting
Depression
No escape
Never free
Fighting
The Invisible
Every goddamn day
Fighting…
Endlessly

I also have PTSD. I relive what has happened to me everyday and it hurts to remember the physical abuse by both parents and a step parent. I am so sorry that you also struggle with PTSD and the other things, Just Patty.
Hey Chrissie,
I am so sorry that you have to fight PTSD as well.
Abuse is one of the worst things that can happen to you, it destroys your trust in yourself and in others.
Sending you lots of love! ❤
Stay strong.
Keep fighting! Seems like you’re winning.
Thank you!
And I will, always.
Hugz & Love ❤
And you are still fighting very well Patty 😀
Thank you my friend.
Hugz & Love ❤
