Paralyzed I lie still
My nerves pounds on the walls of my brain
Eyes zoning out I feel nauseous
I attempt to write, yet it comes out lame
Usually witty, usually clever
I’ve lost my zest, humor and swagger
Sick to my stomach, I tried medication
But for what I am looking to medicate there is no salvation
I cannot sleep, yet awake is far off
The gym is waiting, my muscles are soft
Yet to move is exhausting, the energy I cannot find
Shall I lie here, and wait to die
