The MonSter

Hello everyone.  Sue commented on my last post, venting, and asked me about another poem, which prompted me to write one.  I hope you like it. 

There is a MonSter inside me.

That no one else can see.

It likes to make me dizzy

and sometimes slows my speech.

It likes to make me walk funny

and it really hates the heat.

It is a clever trickster

deceiving everyone by my looks.

It will manifest itself when it wants to.

I don't even have a clue.

It makes me forget my words

or the last thing that I was doing.

I just had a brain fog..

do you see where this is going?

This MonSter can be defeated

by my positive outlook

And with other weapons

given to me

by doctors and by books.

Let me introduce you to the MonSter

If you don't know it yet

The MonSter that I am speaking of

Is the MonSter named MS.
