fatigue is a bitch

Fatigue is a monster. It sucks my energy faster than a baby with a bottle. It causes my whole body to ache from the bone marrow to the skin. Fatigue makes me weak. Weakened and emotional. Fatigue is a parasite, sacking all determination out of my will. It doesn't stop. It even is creeping in as I sleep. When I wake up, my blood is like lead, weighing m down.  Fatigue makes it difficult to maintain relatiinships. When you don't have the strength to go out and make an effort at life, you get left behind.  Fatigue is worse than being exhausted. It's like a slow moving river. You can't stop it. You can build a dam to block it but the water still has to go through. Fatigue is like being smothered by a fuzzy blanket. Fatigue is like being gagged and tied up so you can't reach out for help.
There are always going to be obstacles and always unfinished tasks. There will be dirty laundry and dishes, unsweetened floors and windows needing cleaned. Life goes on whether we participate or not. Fatigue is a thief. It sneaks in and steals moments from us. Potential memories. Potential character building potential legacy. Fatigue is a monster.
