Hot soup
Bed early
Nyquil
Get squirrely
Hard to swallow
Too much white noise
Can't kiss my cutie and my phones on vibrate
Just a portrait of my day
Ice cream for supper and make sure you hydrate
My face winces each time that i think of spit
The pain implores. Neck
Puts me in check so I rest and
I'll make sure, I grin in the mirror
Practice my frown
Wish i could skip a week
Instead i'm stuck
"Not safe to stray
Gargle more"
I sit I stay
"with a garlic clove
Topical sprays
Dunce get some rest"
Swallow hard
Unsettled-leaking out my orifices
Discreetly excrete joyless-ness
The people sleep and so must i
I say that as a peer
Breathing with a troubled sigh
That's honestly too focused on which I've made a diatribe
Too many times, another glass
I'm not dead and I can't stop living - say
These are the days I strayed from my mission
Grew into focus and found my vision
Sore throat, boat strapped to the dock
Hands tethered to the internet
Get shut eye the last third of my life
Throat medicated but isn't better yet
Scratchy cough - might wake my woman
Go ahead dunce, rot over
It's not everyday, you get to blame
Your weakness for what you can't get done
Short list lose strength
Each song written with the same note
Know the drill keep my promises
And try some lozenges
