I cough
And my thin body doubles over
My bony wrists and hands cover my mouth
I feel like a wounded bird
Fragile and small
But wants to take flight
I can’t fly
Without getting better
But the doctor
Said
They can’t do anything more
They can only make my time less miserable
So they pump me full of drugs
Things that dull my senses
And make me
Not me
But someone who I barely recognize
A thin girl
Coughing up blood
Waiting to die
