LYME RAGE
READY SET, STAGE:

MY HEAD IS GOING TO EXPLODE
BUGS IN MY BRAIN READY FOR IMPLODE…
UNLOAD
ME FROM THIS HELL
BREAK THE BARTONELLA SPELL
I HAVE SO MUCH TO TELL!

THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE
STILL, I SWEAR TO YOU
THAT I WILL FIGHT IF ONLY THIS
FEELING WOULD TAKE FLIGHT.

PLEASE SEE ME HEAR ME LET ME LIVE
THERE IS SO MUCH I HAVE LEFT TO GIVE-----
BUT I CANNOT TAKE ONE MORE TRAUMA
LISTEN… MY NAME IS ILANA
I AM HERE DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I’M
suffering? FRUSTRATION AND CONFUSION BLUSTERING
IN THE PORTO VITA WIND TUNNEL
ALL THOUGHTS SWIRLING IN A FUNNEL.

RELEASE ME FROM THIS NIGHTMARE
ARE YOU OUT THERE?  DO YOU CARE?


I AM HOLDING BY A PIECE OF DENTAL FLOSS
OVER A FINE BRAIN LIES BART-INSPIRED GLOSS
OF BLACK ****. BUT THEN A WRIT
FLOWS FORTH AND THROUGH MY FINGERS
YET THIS CORNOCUPIA OF INSANITY STILL SOMEHOW LINGERS!
FREE ME?  ALLOW ME TO SURVIVE SO TO
THRIVE. LESSEN ITS GRIP ON MY BRAIN
I AM WORKING NOW TO TRAIN…

IT AGAIN TO THINK AND FEEL BEYOND MYSELF

THIS PATHOGEN IS BEYOND MEASURE STEALTH
I’M SO READY TO SURRENDER IN PEACE

NOONE THINKS I’LL DO IT; SOON THOSE NOTIONS WILL CEASE,

BECAUSE I’VE HAD PLENTY ENOUGH AFTER 4 YEARS

ALLOW ME TO STOP SHEDDING TEARS
OF UNIMAGINABLE ANGUISH AND DESPAIR
NONE OF THIS IS ******* FAIR

COME ON GOD, SPIRIT, ENERGY ANCESTORS

THERE HAVE TO SOMEWHERE BE SOME ANSWERS

I AM DYING A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH
LET ME GO INTO THE LIGHT NO MORE BREATH

INHALE EXHALE INHALE EXHALE--I’VE GONE INSANE

BARRAGED ASSAULT ON MY ONCE-PRAISED BRAIN

I NEED OUT IN THE WORSE POSSIBLE WAY
I ONLY WANTED TO HEAL, OVERCOME AND STAY

MY SPIRIT WAS BROKEN LONG AGO
SIMPLY PUT, I FOUGHT AN UNBEATABLE FOE
