Had ten hours in bed
Mostly asleep
Wiped out
Heard my neighbour
Coughing again
Not only am i
In no condition to help her
I'm now in actual fear
Of what she now
Maybe carrying
She's late 20's
Early 30's
She has a great singing voice
I once could sing okay
Now mostly, sing like a drain
The big sleep
Didn't change anything
Still exhausted
And still of course
The pain
Now need to manoeuvre
Out of my bed
I move like a crouching tiger
With a missing leg
I switch on the radio
So i at least
Have the company
Of strangers
And their chatterings
A bit like a voyeur of sound
For some reason
Of late
Ive been dropping the S
In sciatica
Silence
Is not always

I like this poem! They way it is written makes me read its as if the speaker is struggling for breath and barely getting every few words out. Very emotional and well written :D

it's based on my real life experience in the last few days, so kind of made it easier to write :)
