Imagine chewing a large piece of gum,
now after the first 25 chew’s
spit that out.

Now imagine yourself being
small enough to swim in a
glass of water, now place
your tiny self into the gum.

Try to run! Come on, run!
You can’t.

Then you try to move but
the gum is pulling your
body back into itself.

You build muscle and you find
away to move but you’re still
stuck.

You find out you can break parts
of the gum but you have to move
quickly.

From there you learned to
flop yourself against the walls
you can wait there for assistance,
like a fly in a spider web.

Now you understand how
I feel.

Also, I feel like a
beached whale, or an
overstuffed panda bear.

Let’s do the MizzTwitch shall we?
Wahwahwah! Twitch, twitch, twitch!
Yeah buddy! ~~~~~~~√

I am dealing with my Dystonia until I get another surgery to repair the batteries to my deep brain stimulator. I am also waiting for my pain pills to be refilled. It should be ready tomorrow. I have to wait up to a month for my surgery. I thought about this poem while taking a shower. Its hard to move without a working device. I am half android a bionic woman. Dystonia ***** but technology is awesome, together they are legendary 😎
