!!blow me!!

my
...head...

like a balloon at the edge of

full to its very thinnest membrane
my brain functions .not.

stretching.tearing.pulling

dizzy.ness prevails
while nostrils flowing
my nose screams

!!blow me!!

my head floats away
while crushing my shoulders
its eating my throat and swelling
my glands
nyquil illusions of a grand nite.stand band
with the uppers the downers

orange juice

chicken noodle soup

hot tea

i snuck a shot of whiskey
((but it didn't help me))

i'm begging and pleading
to a god not believed
i plea the

"i don't want to be sick no more"

..plea..
of
all
.pleas.

while tossing and turning
the only sleep
found in a turquoise bottle
i drink more of it than i ought
while dripping and wheezing

*cough*

*cough*

*sneeze*

*sneeze*

*cough*

snuggle in frozen wet blankets
i think i'll try again
.to...

...sleep it off.

*cough*

Quite creative, with an amusing look at the anguish of your ailment! If I didn't know better, I'd say it was the codeine in the cough syrup, but we all know you're just "dripping" in talent. ;)

Very entertaining. Ugh, that's a nasty feeling. But the imagery, though unflattering :D was great. Dig it, hardcore. Hey stylet, feel better.
