Fever, fever, it crushes my dreams,
Many bacteria enter my body in teams.
It’s very bad for me, it seems,
How can anyone do this to a teen
I always get stomach pain,
Getting rid of it always goes in vain.
I get a cold and cough mainly in the rain,
The virus enters my body and damages my brain.
Because of this, I miss my sports like football,
My legs hurt so much that I can’t even crawl.
Just sitting idle and doing nothing makes me bawl,
Missing all my activities makes my impression on teachers fall.
Missing the school and sports makes everything boring,
I miss many tests in which marks I can get scoring.
I miss playing football all while the rain is heavily pouring,
I hate staying at home and hearing myself snoring.
Whenever I get fever, it is usually high,
All day in bed I have to lie.
I miss going out and watching the sky,
My head pains so badly that it makes me cry.
Every 15 days, I get a fever again,
It just got cured but it came again.
Having medicine every day becomes lame.
What others are doing, I want to achieve the same.
I can gain a lot of respect and a lot of fame,
If it weren’t for this fever, which just went and came.
Disease is a very hard thing to tame,
But for me, curing them from time to time has become lame.
Everybody says having a fever is okay,
But curing it is like finding a needle in a stack of hay.
From academics and athletics, it is driving me away.
I can’t do nothing but just sit and pray.
