The GHS Plague by Haille Glaser

The GHS Plague
                       Tired
                                                                                                 
                                                Sickly
                                                                               
                        Coughing
                                                                                                    Contagious
                                                   My head turns hot
                                                                My temperature spikes
                I think i’m getting sick, yikes
                                                                                  My body aches and screams for help
                                                                                                   I feel worse than I have ever felt
Unable to think
              Unable to focus
                                                          My brain is a scramble
                                                                   I stare blankly as my teachers ramble
                           I want to go home
Rather than aimlessly roam
                                                                                   Please mom, dismiss me
                                                                                                None of my classes will miss me
                                              Home at last
                                                     I flop on my bed
                                                                  I lay a cold cloth on top of my head
Sleep for hours
         Maybe even days
                       When I raise
                    My brain is no longer a maze
    
                                                   Feeling better, feeling good
                                                    Feeling as I wished I would
                                                   Back to school, back to class
                                                            I can think again
                                                                Undiseased
                                                                   Healthy
                                                                    Strong
