I Am Sick

by Michael Charles Messineo — Read all 96 poems by Michael Charles Messineo

Being sick clouds my mind

Thursday, January 8, 2004

I am sick
I feel like crap
my nose is leaking
just want to nap

My sight is blurry
my throat just hurts
read medicine labels
for caution alerts

been drinking juices
and blowing my nose
my body screams aches
from head to my toes

won't go to the doctor
will just stay in bed
while gibberish poems
dance in my head

just watching TV
screening old movies
will old characters help
and simply behoove me

I'm seeking ideas
my head in a cloud
quiet shy ladies
or men who are loud

The story lines blur
as I fall fast asleep
thoughts are all jumbled
some goofy some deep

I wake up and ponder
what time is it now
juice and more vitamins
give false hope somehow

I hate being sick
my mind doesn't work
I wish I was healthy
my normal self quirk.
