Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Kills

Intro text here

in me there lives a sadness
a sadness lives in me
it’s big and blue and complex
i try to let it be

i want to make it visible
i’m scared and i am free
scared because of shame
free because i still let you see
that i am here,
with a sadness in me

the bees
the trees
the fish overseas

the geese, the breeze,
the sun and its constant tease

the healthy versions of me,
my hair full of grease

they´re curious to see,
to watch, as i rot in peace

— the passing of time, Greta Granö, severe ME, Instagram: @piengreta

it wraps around me like a blanket,
not a soft one
squeezes me smaller and smaller
compressing
smaller and smaller

so little human
in so much space
so little human
so much space

— loneliness, Greta Granö, severe ME, Instagram: @piengreta
