Bed Bound
I hate being bed bound
So I'm not
I won't
Despite the pain
My aching body
Despite the congestion
And constant coughing
I feel like crap
I look it too
But I don't care
I WILL NOT stay in bed!!!
I ignore my body communicating with me
And all my body symptoms
They say, "Hey! You need to chill alright? You're crazy! Get back to bed!
But I say, "No! I will not be bed bound!"
"Okay look", I can feel my body say,"We've got work to do. And we need you to relax so we can get stuff done. You're not helping us by being active."
I ignore my fever which I insisted to my mom I didn't have
Then again, how would I know?
I can't be bed bound
I will not be bed bound
All I have to do is take a cough suppressant
Blow my nose a few times throughout the day tomorrow
And ignore every bit of pain by body is throwing at me right now
Telling me to chill
I feel it
It hurts
But I ignore it
I refused to be bed bound
I'm going to school tomorrow
Sick and all
But I don't care
I Will Not Be Bed Bound
