Being Sick

Feeling hot & cold at the same time
I never get sick! So I gotta ask why?!

Gotta headache & a runny nose
I have the chills & im fully clothed

This cough & cold sweats are keeping me up at night
Praying & hoping I don't lose this fight

I just knew something wasn't right
I kept coughing & didn't have an appetite

Stomach is growling but I don't wanna eat
I just wanna lay in the bed and turn up the heat

Taking short breaths & my heart is beating fast
Stomach is hurting & im hoping it's just gas

Got a nasty taste on my tongue
And this weird feeling in my lungs

When I coughed, a lil blood came outta my mouth
Time to get on Google & figure this out

Looked up my symptoms & couldn't believe it
Everything fell under pneumonia, then I said aw shit

This is serious! Could be fatal
Why did my symptoms fall under this label?!

Staring at the blood in the sink
Backtracking my steps & trying really hard to think

Ran a fever of 103
Gotta take some medicine & drink some hot tea

Hoping these meds turn this thing around
And that it brings my high temperature down

The Grim Reaper was waiting for me to go to sleep
But you were the angel in the room protecting me
