One Poem Every Day

I hate being sick

I feel weak

And gross

Putrid

Nasty

My lungs filled with fire

My eyes are drippy

My nose is flaming

It's disgusting

It's moments like that

When I feel awful

When I feel the most alive

My pain

Reminds me

Of the human experience

It reminds me that I am here

On the Earth

Moving

Breathing

Functioning

Living

Even though I am sick

At least I'm alive.
