I Just Do Not Feel Alright Today Poem by Shalom Freedman

I can't move today
I don't know why
I am tired and heavy
My mind does not move either
I cannot write
I am slow
I do not know why
I am just not alright
Is it because I am old?
Or is it because I am really sick
In a more serious way than I know?
Or perhaps because I did not sleep well?
I don't know
I wonder what it would be like
To have most of the days
Or worse all of the days
Of the rest of my life
Like this
I don't know
I will try to sleep tonight
I hope I will feel better tomorrow
I just do not feel alright today
