Poem - THE CALLOUS SOUL

Pemphigus vulgaris- the callous soul (poem)
The callous soul - RGK


She wore down till her last shade, 
           when you complained of the stain.
Through the shattered mirror, 
        she gazing over her wilted weather's pain.

Streams from her eyes trace down her parched lips;
 they fumed as if she tasted the ocean in her dips.
Time swept her sore sole
    as her heart blistered upon their desertion.

And you complained of her, for the callous!
The callous soul, for once, 
          envied death over existence.

-RGK

Briefing the poem :

She stood along their hardships when they mocked over her pain. She almost lost her identity with the reality and viewed the world inside her lifeless just like the winter weather. The faded features of hers are overwhelmed by the sensation of the salt in her tears pressing her cracked lips and understanding the fact that time doesn’t wait for any and moving by enduring the pain that her feet has felt along the waiting and her heart pounding to be heard, only to her disappointment they flee at the sight of risk and named her for being emotionless unsympathetic numb etc.Thus, the unsympathetic numb soul learned an emotion called envy. The sight of fall brought shades to lifeless, the view of nothingness she envied, she envied the death upon her own existence.

This poem is preserved on acknowledging the internal turmoil faced upon the critics placed by ton. The ton in here are the society; call out for judgments before empathy, condescending over humility. The victim roles taken by the ton when asked to be the receiver, the one she has always been. 

It is hurtful to look back and realise that all along the path there was no companion in real than the mere illusion I created upon the scary travel.

I am someone who always believes that death is overrated and living takes more courage and I still stand by it, but sometimes the escape feels too real, the complete disassociation from the reality is as tempting as……

What is Pemphigus vulgaris and uncommon symptoms

Image
  Define:  A rare autoimmune disease that is characterised by painful blisters and erosions on the skin, long term condition that causes the immune system to fight against the body’s own cells in the same way that it fights off invading germs .   Uncommon symptoms: PV is more than just painful blisters and erosions; it is more than their assault on healthy cells and their capacity to absorb protein that is found between the patient's skin cells.  Undergoing a significant life-changing event impacts not only the physical aspect but also the mental, emotional, and social aspects. Despite consuming a high amount of protein in the diet, there is still a deficiency in protein levels, necessitating the administration of albumin and plasma protein transfusions. Skin erosion can occur with minimal friction, making it uncomfortable to wear regular clothing as they adhere to the skin, causing a sensation akin to being pricked by hundreds of needles simultaneously. Removing clo...

The items added down are ones recommended by my doctor and some products that are personally helping me till date.  How do I protect my skin from friction during open wound? :  While sitting on the chair and while sleeping, I use under pad sheets (only change is  use the plastic side of the pad ).
