Fatigue is most common and an extremely overpowering feeling in most connective tissues diseases. Like SLE, RA, Myositis and Sjögren’s Syndrome. In fact for some, it is there with them at every moment they breathe. One can’t shrug it off, one cannot will it away. One just has to make, its peace with them.
Fatigue
Like waves it comes
Crashing into me
Don’t feel a tingle
On skin or sheens
Every bone every muscle
Every cell in deep
It soaks wet and soggy
With profound fatigue
They don’t shed tears
They don’t ever weep
Just need hours and hours of
Motion free still
