Sickness

Sickness is an internal monster
It causes one to feel lower
The feeling eats at your insides
It tears at your muscles

Sickness is like a slithering snake waiting to strike
Your head spins like a turntable
You are constantly walking through a tar pit

Sickness is not immortal,
it can be beaten
With an equally powerful force
Along with the help of time

  1. I really like the poem Sydney. It is simplistic, but conveys the message that you were trying to convey. Nice jobs on using all of those techniques too.
