Stuck like glue

 

Stuck like glue

 

I have felt worse

But this is weird;

Comes and goes in waves

And as much as I feared.

 

The coughing, gunk,

Light headed

Like feeling drunk.

Not wanting to leave my bed.

 

The aches and pains

In all my bones

And what remains

Is still unknown.

 

Been dodging for a time

This nasty disease

And in the meantime

Felt so much at ease.

 

Worked around it-

Through it.

Got to admit

Always felt fit.

 

Had a few days away-

Without a care!

Not one delay

But was not prepared.

 

It came from nowhere

Out of the blue,

It's still everywhere

Sticking like glue.

 

Lived off pain pills

And plenty of juice,

Felt hot, then chilled

Living like a recluse.

 

Headache, weary

Just want to sleep,

Everything's dreary

And want to count sheep.
