Sore Cold


Blog 149:

Head spins
Throbbing pain nags from shoulders
Dry cough invades chest airflow
Runny nose irritates every minute or so
Swollen throat makes painful gulping

What is it with you, persisting Cold
That intrudes in my possible perfect days?
You exhaust my body energy!
You debilitate my being!
You hold me down in this sickbed!

Inner ear pain joins the throng of hurt-filled head
Watery eyes blurr vision
Mucus aggravates cough
General body malaise spreads
Until all it could do is lie in that cradling bed

Shoo, Cold ... bother me no more!
Be gone from my being, Cold!
Let my ears and eyes rest from these excretions
Have mercy on my throat and nose- let go of these foreign irritations
Free my body of these germs that imprison the rest of me!
