Hopeless

I feel like crap... My body hurts so much. My medicine wont kick in... Help!

I feel hopeless
As I lay here in my bed
My body aches
And my throat is swollen
And soar...
My ears are screaming at me
Its such agony laying here
My body burns
Everything I touch
Triggers the burn inside my aching body...
I don't understand this...
Why can my body be so cold
When I feel as though my body is on fire
I keep shivering
And layering with blankets
But nothing seems to end this icy chill...
I feel so weak
For a can barely move
It hurts too much...
My head is pounding
And my stomach empty
I want to eat
I truly do
But it simply makes me feel sick
I wish this stupid medicine would work
And heal my achy body
Its been fighting this illness...
Its tired
I dont know how much more it can do
I am a lifeless soul
Unable to sleep
Or even think
I am simply
....hopeless

Author's Note

I dont care about flow or grammar... I just simply feel like crap.

Not good -- being sick that is. A few shots of a stiff drink and sleep it off, was what my father always said. :-) Best of luck. Feel better!

arg. brings up horrid memories of days spend lyein in bud with a bucket to hand:(
really well dun:)

[Cassandra D.]

Very well expressed feelings.

[PaperHearts]

Aww, I'm sorry! Even reading this made me feel awful inside, so I can't even begin to imagine how terrible you must be feeling right now! Anyway, I thought that this was a pretty well-written poem, and that you described the feeling of being sick perfectly, particularly in the part about feeling like you're burning, yet at the same time, feeling icy cold. I really hope you get better soon! :)

I remember feeling like this few months ago. This poem describes my emotions back then perfectly... Once again, a great poem-I hope you get better soon!
