Plague

This is how I feel.

Gasping for air,

My body’s shaking.

Oh god!

What do I do?!

 

Am I going to die?

I wonder as I drop to my knees,

Vision a thing so lost.

This pain is so new.

 

I collapse to my side,

My tremors finally calming.

I gasp for air,

As sobs wrack my body.

 

Why didn’t I die?

These things that plague me,

Why won’t they just leave me?

All that’s left is to wait for the next.
