A Poem by Katie

Stuck in Bed

As I begin to wake,
I shiver and I shake,
and I think of this day
that I will waste away.

It seems as if the sun
decided to have fun
and entered into me
until I shook free.

But then the chills return
and I begin to yearn
for a middle ground
where sickness is not found.

As I begin to wake,
I shiver and I shake.
