*****
As the sun rises
Revealing a brand new day,
Yesterdays and tomorrows
Merge into one.
There is no remaining
Clear definition of time:
I've been shut away too long
To notice it passing.
These four walls have become my cage,
Hiding me from the outside world;
Occasional glimpses fliter through
Of other people's lives.
Week after week
It's all the same
Yet within months
Everything's different.
Friends have drifted:
We no longer speak,
My life has been taken
By this fatigue.
A dark cloud has settled
Over my life,
Smothering me slowly
Until I'm gasping for air.
Nameless days
Stretch out before me,
A life full of nothing;
Bleak and grey.
As the sun sets
Drawing the day to a close,
Yesterdays and tomorrows
Merge into one.

I suffer from chronic fatigue which has meant I've been stuck in the house for months. This is about that.

:( Jeez, I'm sorry.

Great poem. I could really identify with it, even though I don't suffer from chronic fatigue, just boredom and laziness.

Tis one of them things. I'm learning to live with it.

Thanks :) Hehe.. Yeah I know what you mean. I never used to have this illness as an excuse either ;]
