(Cue the dramatic music)
Like an orchestra, the symptoms collaborated in full harmony to ensure my demise.
I woke up mute from the immense itching and throbbing in my throat.
Puzzled, I did not realize that it was only the first of things my list would comprise.
Speaking was delicately monitored as it would bring about coughing too vibrant.
Then my back.
Oh, my entire back was the most unpleasant.
It was not muscular pain that demands a massage- that I can endure.
Rather it was the tenderness of a large swelling bruise, a bruise covering my back and grandure
Soon after, dizzy spells made walking acrobatics.
Right foot
Left foot
Right foot
Left foot
I concentrated to not go kaput.
In perfect punctuality, chest congestion brought about suffocation.
It was then that I was forced, kicking and screaming, to accept the source of my frustration.
I can not ignore the simple truth that shadows these acts, these symptoms.
This is it.
I’m approaching the very thing I struggled at all costs to avoid.
I am getting -ACHOO!- excuse me, I am,
SICK.
(Let the dramatic music fade away as slowly as my health)
oh no!
LOOOOOOOOOOL
sorry man i had to laugh cus just the other day we were talking about this unwanted fate.
alas! you join me in sickness with snot filled tissues, coughing up lungs, achin braikn pains and fire breathing temperatures.
but don’t make the same mistake as me of drinking nyquill during midday and then go to class/work right after and wonder why you’re about to fall over and pass out. haaaaaaa
May Allah give you shifa quickly and with ease. Ameen.
I’m so upset I’m sick.
I sanitized and washed and kept my distance, thinking “HA, I will beat you this year cold and flu!”
and then the cold/flu said “HA, that’s what you think, wench!”
So here I am.
Defeated.
I have yet to get sick, but I hope to God it doesn’t happen anytime soon!
Cute poem =)
I’m sick too but am now feeling much better
I think its impossible to not get sick when its flu season
here in the north, the falls and winters are so cold so early that its something everyone accepts
You make being sick sounds go good!
