Sick
Painful
Congested
Sinus Pressure
Up all night coughing
Losing sleep til morning
Next day many body aches
Off to Urgent Care I go
Ear infection diagnosed
On antibiotics
Going home to rest
Feeling better
Coughing less
Smiling
Well

There’s pills, potions
but nothing truly
can cure my emotions

Thanks for letting this poem trend. It's a nice gesture to wake to.

your words are like pills
i swallow them one by one
sometimes all at once
they scratch down my throat
settle in my body
and disappear
like magic
but it’s only science
i am left in a state of dizziness
they cloud my vision
and numb my pain
so will you please
please speak softly
let me swallow
one last dose
I'm actually pharmacophobic and I hate taking pills.

Never intended to be headed down the road to hell
Never intended to bring anybody with me
This isn't how it was supposed to be
When I started this journey
I wasn't strong enough to look you in the eye
The demons suffocating me from the inside out
That was then
This is now
I'm not the same person I was then
Today I wake up and hold my head high
The smile still sometimes hides
but don't be mistaken
I am stronger than I was yesterday
Though I still hold fear inside
I stand tall and cast a shadow over it
To let it taste its own medicine
Don't let the frown on my face fool you
There's a strength inside of me that is stronger than any frown
I am stronger than I was yesterday
I am stronger than I was then
And today I will stand tall

Red
Strange malaise,
One I can't place.
Struggling of late.
Discomforting state.

Persistent lethargy.
Sloth-like and heavy.
Burning internals.
Frequent intervals.

No temperature.
No warning lever.
Don't know what's wrong.
Been rather long.

Medicine trough
Can't rid me this cough.
Expulsion so violent,
Incessantly recurrent.

Over a fortnight
This ailment I fight.
Still hasn't eased.
Can't be appeased.

Development is seen.
Now spitting green.
Not just all
That joined this brawl.

It's just the coughing.
No injury I'm suffering,
I haven't bled...

But I see red...
:(

With a voice as liquid and soothing as zzzquil
Skin as smooth and calming as a depressant

Give me a high dosage of you, ignore the label don't consume with alcohol, and inject me with your love.

With lips as numbing and dangerous as Novocain
With a smile as tempting and breathtaking as a stimulant

But it was your hands that had me quarantined from any other woman
Because they weren't labeled contagious but they were infected with your love.
But **** I swear the only cure I need is More of you.

I don't know what category that love falls under a syndrome or illness
But it is crippling and the thought of you being with someone else is like having acid in my stomach
And this love is toxic because it mutates and its a disease that spreads and I swear its taken my brain and formed fatal thoughts
But no matter what the damage to my brain has been caused
I will always remember you
Because when love causes you hurt
The stitches may be pulled
But the scars always stay
And so will you.
