HER:
She sneezes
and takes an week off from work.
So very sick
that she lays about watching television eating food
not coughing once?
she makes everyone worried with her act.
ME:
I wake up wanting to go to school
but when i try to get up i find that i cant move
i try to look to my right but it hurts too much
as im lifting myself off the floor
i see her not-watching tv
Eating chinese from the night before, on her phone
staring into the brightness.
she can't be sick.
Shes doing what sick people wish they could do
while i cant even swallow my spit.
Shes drinking soda after soda and i'm trying to breath
without breathing too hard cause every breath makes me light headed
shes pounding her chest while mine is filled with flem
she disgusts me.
i have the weekend
2 days to feel better with actual sickness
while she took off a week for a sneeze
i'm crying
i feel like i'm dying
she laughing and smiling watching dance moms with the volume all the way up
and i'm sick
but that doesn't really matter
or does the fact that my fevers went up to 108
because the babies on my chest while i'm hacking up a lung
and i'm trying to see clearly
gulping down medicine
while your laying oh-so peacefully on the phone with your best friend talking about moving if trump gets elected.
That joke is overdone,
just like my voice because i cant talk anymore.
it hurts too much to walk
and on top of that now I've got my period
i haven't eaten since Thursday and todays Tuesday
and i think i might be dying
This is the difference of being a sick child
and being a sick adult in my house.
They make it known that my pain is
one hundred percent irrelevant.
That i have to get and act like the adult that their not
It's the beginning of the end.
