Sickness
I have felt like I am drowning
My head hurts like I feel the pressure
My eyes hurt like they’re filled with water
My throat hurts like I’ve choked on water
My body is weak
I feel so much panic and fear
I don’t feel the strength to swim any longer
I don’t want to fight
Will I just sink into darkness and let it fill my lungs?
But I have to find the strength that remains and bring myself back up.
To light
To life
To peace
And I will live on once again.
And I’ll take some freaking vitamins.

I wrote this while I wasn't feeling well for a month. I don't even think I was sick, but I did feel terrible.
