Nailed to the Ground

Sickness has been nailing me to the ground for 4 or 5 years. I suffer from ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and my body feels like it's wearing a lead suit. My head has brain fog so it's like never being fully awake.

In the past other things have nailed me down, such as drug addiction, wrong attitudes on my part, worries, stress etc.

Write about something that's nailing you down to the ground, mental, physical or both, or it could be something in the past that you're free from.




Credit due to Hypocrisy 'Nailed to the Ground' for the inspiration.


RULES: HA HA!!! LMAO (I'm certain that you know how to behave!!!)

      Brilliant!

      Do zombie's vomit? Wouldn't that mean they'd have to eat? lol

      • They have been known to vomit after eating flesh to get to the brains, in certain stories and movies.

  • Hey this is a good idea.
    I will enter.
    Ok so I want to enter but probably shouldn't make guarantees.
    So many things... so many.
    So here's a question. Why do you do these things? Things that make me cry?
    Lol. Mean.
    But what was my point? Bookmarked. I have to come back before 7 days is up, eek.
