Guest Poet: “Good Health”
More stories from Kriesha Calderon
Good Health
I don’t feel like myself
I know this isn’t good health
But sometimes it feels like I can’t breathe
Like a million things are crushing me
Not physically but emotionally
I can’t seem to find my call
Sometimes I wish I’d just fall
Caring and trying are exhausting
I don’t give up but I feel like I’m defrosting
Slowly, making my way through life costing
I don’t know where my heads at I don’t know what to do
All I do is cry and feel blue
I can say I’m happy but I can say I’m lost
I’ve made certain choices and paid the cost
I don’t like feeling weak and soft
I’m okay but let me tell you I’m not
Eventually I’ll be happy and sadness will be forgotten
