Sickness
I woke up this morning
With a burning in my throat
That feeling is probably what woke me up
Earlier than I would like.

Now I’m tired
In addition to the feeling that has begun to fade.
It’s becoming a minor part to aches and pains that
Sting throughout my body.

My head hurts
My body aches
Sleep is needed
But it must wait

I Can’t Help Myself
This feeling
Is overwhelming
I’m drowning in my misery

I need to go home
But I can’t
Suffering is mine
And I must bare it alone

Trapped here by someone I once held so close
Now Alone in my suffering

I need to go home
But alas,
For I’m stuck here
Alone
