Hypochondriac

My face is covered
In splotches
My hair is dull and brown
My stomach bulges
And my butt is fat

My back- it aches
My head- it throbs
I stubbed my toe
Again

He looked at me 
She pulled my hair
And at my clothes 
The always stare

My side- it pains
My finger’s jammed
And in the door
My hand was slammed

There’s a moth
I scream with fright
I run away
With all my might

My room’s dark
My feet are cold
And there’s the boogieman
I was told.
