Sickness

Sickness causes your world to change
Your attitude goes from cheery to blah
A friend's sense of humor has no effect
You try so hard but you just can't relate

The light seems to fade when you don't really care
The sun keeps its distance, apparently, just in case
It's brightness would falter if your grayness was catching
So now your eyes grow dim, and your body grows cold

You don't care if life gets accomplished or not
Let someone that feels better take care of those things
You just want to focus on sleep, and more sleep
And finding more blankets, and a place to lie down

Sickness is one of those things that you dread
You know that it's coming, you just don't know when
Like death, it creeps up when you least expect it
Its' twinge, an unwanted feeling on the edge of your soul

Once on you, lest it defeat you, you fight it
The natural reaction of a weakened defense
No matter the cost, you give all you've got
Win or lose, you've done all you can do
