Endometriosis

 

There is a demon in my body.
I imagine it yellow and silky
like the awareness ribbon I often picture with the word 'Endometriosis' or..'Endo' or MY chronic pain.

Yellow Ribbon grows and wraps itself around my ovaries and tubes.
Weaves in and out of organs;
pressing and compressing my bladder, my bowel and even my colon.

Yellow silky satin ribbon
(not so pretty anymore)
Dirty brown and red
Angry, inflamed and bleeding.
Bleeding with menstruation, ovulation, sex, orgasms or any other day of the week it DAMN WELL chooses.

Yellow angry blood stained ribbon...
Rages through my body..
A FORCE powerful enough to cancel out painkillers, obstruct my bowel, freeze my pelvis and crush my tubes.

You come back after every surgery, leaving behind scars and adhesions that are no longer safe to remove.

Yellow silky satin ribbon as beautiful as you once were..
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
You are my Demon in disguise,
The demon in my body.
