I feel like I’m missing out
On a lot of things
I missed church
One week
I missed two fun outings
I didn’t get to see my
Friend
So I planned this day ahead
One friend can’t make it
The other two may
Be busy as
Well
So I wonder
Am I going to keep missing out
On life?
My social life is slowly
Deteriorating
Before my eyes
My health forces me to
Cancel
Postpone
Or show up and
Sit miserably
In the
Corner
Wishing away a
Migraine
There are words they haven’t made yet That explain the way I feel But since they haven’t made them They say the feeling isn’t real There are ways to find things you’ve lost And keep them safe and sound But people aren’t like things And can’t always be found There are cures for sickness and maladies One for a buck and a dozen a dime But not so cheap, a broken heart Which requires mostly time
It is 6:30 a.m. as I write this. I just threw up.
It started over the weekend when my cousins came. My cousin Levi had thrown up that day. We should have known better, but what could we do? My cousins live in Grand Rapids. That’s four hours from where we live.
On Sunday night (Levi had left by this time), my mom began to feel nauseous. When we got home from church, she threw up. Then my little bother Matthew got sick. Then my dad.
