Immunity (To Weak)

I feel as if I have become sick
an ailment that was previously
an impossibility, what has happened
to my immunity
to my immortality
its as if all I have known to be
suddenly is not what it was,
so where did my immunity go,
immunity to sickness and stress
to love and lust?
it seems they have blown away
with the cooling air
all though I am sick I must
continue, continue to climb to
the top of the highest hills
and remember to breathe
when breathing becomes so
hard to do, to live when love is
near or far from reach,
to crawl when I am to weak to stand
...so be strong, I am with you
and we are strong...
