I would have stayed in bed today...

Someone just get me away from here

My veins are pounding with tumultuous fears.

I wish I could find a good way out

Some way pain-free and without doubt

If I had known of all this pain,

I would have stayed in bed today.

 

How can I feel so helpless

All these feelings are becoming restless

Inching up my throat; they creep inside.

The tears begin to sting my sullen eyes

If I had known of all this pain,

I would have stayed in bed today.

 

If I had known all this hospitality

would result in nothing but a backfired reality

If I had known all this misplaced blame

would blow up in my face unclaimed

If I had known of all this pain,

I would have stayed in bed today.

"If I had known of all this pain I would
have stayed in bed today."

It seems there is a lot of blame and you
just don`t need that. Blame and arguing are
making you sick and you should have stayed
in bed.

The repetition, "I should have stayed in bed today",
tells me that you knew this might happen, but you
are being told, over and over. You are becoming
fearful, "someone get me out of here".

I hope this problem blows over. In the meantime keep
writing. You have written a winning poem and you will
no doubt do more.

I hate to see you in this state, but I love the writing .
