A Fight
It's been a fight to get through illness for a month now
But I keep praying and I'm given strength somehow
It came from the hospital and I've been admitted twice too
But nothing relieves symptoms with all that I go through
I think I'm most tired from everything I try
It's hard to swallow, talk and eat as time goes by
Miraculous sherbet helped me some tonight
It's not just a sore throat, it is pain with glands swelling tight
Many tests, many scans, all kinds of things are done
More to come as well, as days pass with rising sun
It will be ok, but it has taken a lot of time away
It's a fight that seems endless as I continue to pray
I only speak of this to get through frustration and heal
New days ahead, will hopefully change how I feel

* Well, I have been diagnosed with Mono. I got it from being at the hospital with separate chest pain. They say I will be sick another month and maybe fatigued for a few months. If I am not fully myself, this is why. Thank you all.
