My body
Aches
While the earth
Quakes
At two in the
Morning.
I am silently
Mourning
The sharp pains in my
Chest
And pins and needles in the
Rest
Of my body, I thought I might
Die.
As I stood up, the lights struck my
Eye.
I cannot
See
I cannot
Move
There is one thing I can
Do.
With every step comes Sharp Dark
Pain
I reach the tub and start dry heaving
Again.
Regardless, I turn on the
Water
As my body grows colder, the tub gets
Hotter.
Now I crawl in the tub and feel a
Sensation
Similar to existential
Relaxation.
As the water grows
Higher
The pain gets
Milder.
Eventually I start to feel
Tired.
The water is up to my
Ears
And I can now
Hear
The sound of the water
Hitting
The tub,
Permitting
A feeling of being
Safe
I fall asleep at a gentle
Pace.
When I wake up the waters up to my
Chin,
I'd forgotten I turned the tap on
Again.
As I lift my head
Up
To turn the water
Down,
My body moves
Up
And I feel like I'll
Drown
In this
Pain.
As I lay back in the
Tub
I start to feel
Lighter
Like the water has
Finally
Made my situation
Brighter.
I start to feel a
Burning
Where the Stabbing pain had been.
Yearning to be at
Peace
I fall asleep
Again.
When I wake up
It's five in the
Morning.
My pain seems to be
Gone.
I can now move my
Body
Without blacking
Out
Or almost trying to
Vomit.
I drain the tub and see that I'm
Dirty
So I decide to take a shower at five
Thirty.
When I drain the tub, I start the
Shower
I'm feeling okay, when all the sudden this
Power
Comes over me,
Suddenly
I can't
See
I'm seeing
Flowers
Of color that sting my eyes like
Bees.
I'm extremely
Dizzy
Nobody's awake, and if they were they couldn't
Hear
Me, I lost my voice and now I just stand there
Fearfully.
I turn off the
Shower
And walk out of the
Tub
But something come over
Me
And it shows me no
Love.
I start drooling
Uncontrollably
As I hit the
Floor
I'm on my hands and
Knees
Begging for no
More.
I cannot
See
My ears are
Burning
My lungs seem to have stopped
Working
My body
Aches
My head is filled with
Needles
I'm sure I'm
Dying
As my heart goes
Wild
Now I can't do anything but
Lay
There like a helpless
Child.
I have shampoo still in my
Hair
I'd only washed the
Soap
Off my skin.
After ten minutes of just
Laying
There, I could finally
Move
Again. I get up, and go to
Bed.
I fall asleep without a thought in my
Head.
By this time it was half past
Six.
THIS is what happens when I get
Sick.
