Feelings of Misgiving

The lump of lead 
Inside my tummy
Affects my head
And makes it funny

It steals my attention
Muddles my thinking
No knowledge retention
My brain is shrinking

This knot in my belly
Is causing me grief
My legs like jelly
Please give me relief

No hunger I feel
No thirst I have
The know of steel
Take all I have

Stop my apprehension
Be gone trepidation
Release my tension
A goodbye frustration
