Sickening Poem by William Holdaway

</>I feel sick to my stomach
As if something is wrong.
I can't shake this feeling
It's with me all day long.

I try to think happy thoughts
Maybe to pass the pain away.
But nothing seems to work.
The pain just stays all day.

I think of what I have done.
For maybe it's something I did.
Maybe it's not from today.
Maybe from when I were a kid.

I try to talk to myself
'Shake it off', I try to say.
But it doesn't seem to work.
This damn feeling won't go away.

I return home from work
Still puzzled and vexed.
My mind continues to move
From one thing to the next.

Now it's time for bed
And the feeling still not gone.
I rest my eyes and tell myself,
'Sleep now. It's time to move on.'
