I often feel like my pain is a predator. That it takes pleasure in the chase and ultimately taking me down.

The questions, to which I have no answer, re: How do you fight an enemy you cannot see? How do you win against an opponent about whom you know so little but who knows every corporeal detail about you?

Some days I feel like a helpless animal that will succumb, at some unknown moment, in this battle that I did not start.
