The Sick Child

The Sick Child

I was always a sick child.

So much so that even my family thought I was lying.

I've lost 7 pounds in the last month.

I don't work out. I'm just sick.

It got so bad to the point,

I can't smell food without feeling sick.

I can't eat without throwing up or gagging.

I know I'm dying.

I can feel it.

But I can't prove it.

Neither will I say anything.

It won't change the way people see me.
