Cruel Sickness

There are times
Where I feel
On top of the world
Like I can do anything
My body can do anything
Almost invicible
Then
There are these times
Times when
Things are just hard
Breathing is hard
Walking is hard
Living is hard
Comfort is hard
All off of a cold
I wonder
Why germs have to be so cruel
Why of all people
Me
Why of all times
Now
In less than 24 hours
I am to turn the tassel
Highlighting my achievements
Instead I am to graduate
With snot in my nose
And fever in my body
The cruelty
And irony
Of sickness
With impending events
Just overwhelms me
