Sick

the aches, the pains

the fire in my throat

the heavy breathing, the wheezing

the heat and the cold, shivers and sneezes

they rack my body, and coughs send waves of pain into my chest

im so sick

i take my medicine, my fever goes down

i take cough drops, the pain subsides

its almost over, this sickness

one more night of fits

finaly its over

i wake up and smile

my head is clear, my throat feels fine

no more pain, no more coughs, my fever is gone

i feel better than ever before, freshly renewed, feeling great

im feeling so good

im not sick anymore

This is usually what we all feel when we're sick. Good job at nailing it.

very well written

A person with a chronic illness I know how frustrating it can be to feel sick all the time. You penned this quite well.
