Got a boo-boo
Feeling ill again.
Once a year the same old pain.
Guess it’s a changing of the seasons.
Can’t function properly. No good reason.
Got a cold, but feeling warm.
Heating on. Think it’s 34,
But got to go out and earn some dollar.
Broken bones. Call a guy with a white collar.
Bless this me, for I can hardly breathe.
When I wake up, inhale and cough and sneeze.
Don’t want to move. Have to move.
Procrastinating, not feeling bullet proof.
Want to love, but could I love you?
Not today. No maybe. No way.
Just don’t have the energy for that.
Can’t flirt, when I hurt.
Can barely smile, with a tip of the hat.
Find me tomorrow, or maybe the day after.
One day soon you will hear my laughter,
But not today. Maybe the day after.
Got a boo-boo for a body.
Cover me in plaster and break the mold,
For I am the one who has a runny nose,
So I must be going for a swan song.
When all is said and done, I need to go,
To bed.
No strength for your good love.
Don’t like feeling ill,
When all is done and said.

A most interesting meter in this poem that speaks of illness and its resultant loss of energy and desire. Maybe a metaphoric cold? Nicely done.
No metaphor today Soren. I had a bad cold a few weeks ago. Peace, Love and Empathy.
Wishing you better health soon
