Poème : N3
Ill (heal)
Jealous, I stay,
When those who hold life in every way,
Waste it with a careless bite
As if it were wind, thin and light.
Jealous, I stay,
Of those whose health lights up the day,
Forgetting the bitter pills I’ve known,
And the tremors I face all alone.
Tired, I feel,
When they say it isn't real:
"It’s only in your head," they state,
While in my being, it carries weight.
Tired, I feel,
From all this time has come to steal,
This pain so deep, so sharp, so true,
They paint as just a simple hue.
Despair, I find,
When they tell me "it's all fine,"
While I feel I'm about to die,
As my body bids me soul goodbye.
Despair, I find,
With no cure of any kind;
No medicine can ever bring
The wellness that I’m languishing.
Resigned, I stand,
When they tell me it’s "as planned,"
To just accept and let it be,
As if they held the soul of me.
Resigned, I stand,
As a new crisis takes command,
To break my heart and steal my breath,
In tears that feel like tasted death.
