Fever


I've got a fever. It runs high continuously. It makes my heart race and my head light. I'm filled with delusion. I see things that are not real I feel things that are not there. I can't seem to talk myself out of this insanity, and I know someone is going to be hurt. I'm going to be hurt. I'm so thirsty and there is nothing to drink. It's hot, would someone help get these clothes off me! I'm alone and scared now. It's dark, I can not see my way anymore. They told me this could happen but I thought for sure I'd be okay. I'm not sure of anything anymore. I was sure of foot yesterday but today all that I thought is forgotten. I can't recall, I can't remember how the song goes. I think it had beautiful lyrics but someone changed the melody and I can't hear it anymore. I lost my coat and I'm cold. I've only one glove the children lost it in the rain storm. My finger tips are white and I can't feel them. The pages are wet with salty water and I can't dry them. My hands shake and tear the words from the page. My stomach quivers and my knees are weak. The voice is warm and gentle but I'm frightened when I hear it. I'm frozen and my feet won't run even though they want to. My mind tells me to escape before it's too late while my heart begs me to stay. The treacherous path is slippery and inclining toward nothingness.

This is very comforting to me. Even though I never wish you to feel this way, the fact that you do, and I can completely relate, somehow makes me feel like both of our suffering is somewhat less and more bearable.

I'm with Gooz on this one. My first thought when I read this was how have you read my mind?
