A Poem About Carrie Beth's Heartaches

My stomach is sore


My head aches


I don’t want this anymore


The world shakes (I’m dizzy)


I have a fever it’s kind of hot


I’m so congested with all this snot


I feel like I’m gonna throw up

I’m so sleepy


I feel like a volcano about to erupt


I’m so emotional and weepy


Is this how puberty is supposed to be?


This is a lot of work to me


I feel like this every day


In every way


I wish I could get better, but that day is not today. 


Carrie Beth
