A poem a day - day 41

Hormone imbalance 

I feel fragile today
Papery, opaque like an honesty seed head
Shimmery tissue, flimsy, silvery white
I seem to have no substance, just skeletal slender
Housed within a body of shadow and fog
The world around me is out of kilter
All sharp edges and jagged corners 
Hard bright light and clashing sound 
I lurch through the day queasy, uneasy
Wanting to curl myself up away from it all.
