It came back with a nasty smile on its face. It had looked her in the eyes and had laughed at her audacity of trying to stop it from visiting her.

There are plenty of ways to stop it from choosing her as a target forever! A plenty of people had promised her that! They had promised her that they can create miracles on her and it shall never dare to come close to her ever again! She had paid, paid and paid to them all and then by the end of it all, it had just walked back! It came back with a nasty smile on its face! It had looked her in the eyes and had laughed at her audacity of trying to stop it from visiting her! She knows that she had lost her battle at that point of time, but loosing the battle should not the end of the world!

She had cried! How long this is going to continue happening like this! How long she is going to fight the battle with it, knowing fully well that she can only postpone its arrival, but she can never succeed!

She had taken out the bottle of her pills! She is suffering from a worst kind of an inherited disease! She was wondering the billionth time as to what right the parents has got to pass on such diseases to their children? What kind of a system this is in the God’s world?

She is on medication for a long time now and still the pain walks through her, killing her body and the spirit, making her to kneel in front it, begging for forgiveness and kindness! It just bounces on her unannounced and it possesses her like a demon! She becomes invalid when the pain kills her from inside! A hundred doctors can never cure her but still they give her the medications! There are more medicines in her cupboards now, than in the entire shop of a chemist!

She took yet another set of medication and was sitting, waiting for the pain to go away! She knows that it takes its own time to move out of her body and of her mind! She was waiting for the pain to move away so that at least for a short while, she shall become normal again! At least for a short period of time, the colors, rhythm and happiness shall become a part of her mind and body!

    well i don’t know if this is a true story, but the way i see it. it has deep iner meanings.it could resemble pain in it’s self.many peple don’t think it can get that bad.

    or it can just be a peom about demons. which would just go to prove that im crazy.

    I think it’s about a woman and her period.

    This was an interesting read! I just found the many exclamation marks a bit off-putting! It lost some of its meaning I think! But this is just my humble opinion! I have been wrong lots of times before!

    The author did not bring the meaning into clear view at the end. It could have been about a number of things. It looks like she is writing about herself and her own pain.

    It was like a horror story with out an ending… It made me want to pray for deliverance over the woman. It sounds like an actual demon is causing her pain. I am a Christian and I know they are real and cause real pain and problems in our lives. We can, without realizing what we are doing, give them the authority to take these actions. If it is real, I would find a good church that handles deliverances. It can make a great difference in a persons life.

    As far as the structure: I felt that certain words were used too many times.

    Intresting read i agree… May god bless her!!

    i can empathise with the author because it looks like she’s narrating a personal ordeal without actually naming it…

    i hope she finds the strength to fight her inner demons.. that are weakening her mind and body… God Bless you Lalita! May you find peace…
