The sickness is becoming too much
Blotting out the poet in me
I want to write but I find myself
Whining instead, incessantly
I want to talk of love but instead
I think of nausea and such
So I’m going to try to read and not write
Until this passes and I’m myself again
I may not be able to do that
Writing is a part of me, and this sickness
Has already taken so much of the good
I hate to give it the last of who I am
But I’ll try for awhile to read all of
The things I usually miss so please
Know that I am here, reading and caring
For all of you
When I’m not puking and whining
That is
oh how I can relate to this. For a long time I could not write one single line. Now I can only write sad poems. Perhaps time will change this for both of us. Keep writing whatever. You're a great poet.

Sorry your having a rough time, treatment sounds grim,no easy way round it.
Hi don't be frightened to whine and moan, nothing wrong in shaking up comfort lives now and again, helps us to keep a more balanced perspective on life.
