illness

i am dying of a fever

that will not break

as my face becomes slick

with sweat as i shake

and i'm sick of this sickness

people say is fake

like i'm not dying, not really,

over plastic heartache

they tell me i'm only happy

as happiness can make

but, you see, i can only handle

how much a human can take

since i thought nightmares 

stopped as soon as you wake.
