"Barely Burning Light" by Michelle Wiegers, CFS Poem

My poem, “Barely Burning Light,” describes how difficult my journey with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) was for me and for so many of my mind-body clients and students too. During the many years of fatigue, brain fog and extremely limited physical activity, making plans or even participating in everyday life with my family was so hard.

In this poem, I try to express the immense challenge that living with CFS or ME/CFS can be. If you know someone who struggles with CFS, please share this poem with them! I know it will help them feel seen and understood, at least on some level.

While I was in these debilitating years, I never considered the possibility that I would be able to fully recover. But it has been almost 10 years now. TEN YEARS since I recovered!!! Pain science, neuroplasticity, mind-body medicine, emotional healing, trauma recovery and creative expression all fought for my freedom. At first I thought mind-body medicine would only help reduce my body pain, but I gained so much more!! I’m so grateful that I took the leap to try to unlearn all of my symptoms. Mind-body healing gave me the miracle I didn’t even know to dream for!

If you’re still struggling, I see you, I know how isolating and difficult chronic illness can be. There’s hope my friend, there truly is hope! Follow my Creating Space Podcast (link in bio) for more glimpses of hope and poetry too! (My podcast is launching SOON!)
