When sick,
I remember being a child.
I remember the coughing,
trouble breathing, and
days indoors.
The girls thought I was gross,
spitting phlegm into trash cans
during gym.
The teacher still made me run laps,
I would do my best,
but I would start coughing
and would spit into the trash cans
every lap.
No one was impressed.

growing up with asthma. been there. but we didn't have trash cans.
I've been sick many times. Sometimes so sick I wondered if I would live. Each time I take it as a personal challenge to overcome the sickness. Still, I think health is a gift, nothing earned. Thanks to God.
Man, they should've given you a doctor's note.
Well said. Could definitely see it.
