Year 1: Sickness by Harry Draper

My first ever proper attempt at poetry, hope you enjoy!



What's the point of existence
With this incurable sickness?

I've given my best
I've given my all
My will, it breaks
I wish I could stand tall.

My back, it fails
My loved ones all wail
My lungs, they ache
With every breath I take

My mind, it drops
Like withering smoke from chimney tops
My heart, it's late
No more pain, nothing at stake.
