I HATE COLDS!

I Can’t tell you
How heartbroken I am.

Knowing what I know now.
Feeling disqualified.
Disenchanted
Depressed.

Think what a stuffy nose can do
To the rest of you.

Leaving you in bed.
On the sideline.
On the outside
Looking in.

And what must this do
To the life you knew.

No one to kiss or hug
Can’t hold your friends’ hands.
Don’t you dare spread a germ
If you don’t want to be banned.

This can’t be life or living.
This isn’t pursuing your dreams.
This isn’t following your heart
As sugary as it seems.

For everyone who wants to live
A life brave and bold
The worst thing that can happen
Is a cold.
