Ill

As you can tell by the title of this poem, I am ill. Ugh. 
But on a brighter note, another month down. Just 3 to go now. It'll be a relief when it's over, my ideas are running out a lot. I apologise for the shit ones  (most of my poems....) but thanks for reading none the less :') muchos love to anyone reading this. 




A penny slips down the tongue 
cotton wool clings to the nose
open eyes, the room moves
in hazy waves, pounding on the head
stuck, held down, by the heavy 
arms of the bed. 


Energy leaks in the room around
all limbs pulled towards the ground
when slowly shuffling
while health skips smugly forward 
out of reach,
till another day.

Get Well Soon





I will try to say more
than get well soon
I will try to say more
than feel better
I will try to say more
than thinking of you.


I suppose 
really,
I'm just
trying to say
you've been there for me
and I'll try
to be here for you.

Fleeting Youth



Feeling of youth
is fleeting
Soon to be greedily
consumed
by years.
Fears
not so much of grey
or wrinkles
but of slowly
breaking down.


Don't think of this
until you see,
barely,
living proof.
