Wow - can I be your editor??!! This is a very brilliant piece that you have written. Insightful with some really great language. I love the voice - every bit as powerful as the Cluster itself!!! I hope that you are flattered and not offended with my edits below. Your work is great, thank you. "The Mortality Waltz" Wrapped in the deep embrace of unimaginable terror, I waltz through in agony. With every searing neuronal shock, I spin. My screams are like the music as the tears flow. I dance with death to the drumming of my racing heart and the explosive pain in my brain. Stuck in this box step--- 123,123,123--- repeating to myself "re-lease me....re-lease me". Just as the nightmare felt like it would end, leaving a lifeless body, setting me free from this curse. Forevermore with the extinguishing of my heart...the Dance was done. Left was a shell of who I was. Battered beyond repair, a scared quivering woman who's life was run by fear and the anticipation of the next attack. Mortality had released me from our Waltz but not for long as we all well know, it will be back to consume us again.

Agree with @Rod H. Your words do resonate and certainly paint a picture most of us cluster heads have lived inside of. Any outlet (healthy outlet), is a welcomed distraction from our realities when in cycle. I hope this cycle passes quickly for you!

Keep writing your words resonate with me. You have beat this before you will beat it again.
