Lavender Ghost 

Purple illness shroud's me in a veil of

silent pain as if it's gnawing at my insides.

The fogginess in my head is so overwhelming 

that I often forget important dates and 

appointments.

When I have good day's I knock on wood, 

hoping the good fortune will continue.

But suddenly, I feel drained of all energy,

as if my body's plug has been pulled.

The Lavender ghost visits me, bringing 

 a sense of unease and discomfort. 

Lavender ghost leave me be and set 

the butterfly free. ✨🦋✨
