sick sick sick [in.the.head]

i don't remember a period of time in the past year i haven't been sick
it's always something
every week
a throbbing head
an aching throat
an incessant cough
an unsettled stomach

i rely on advil to cure all of these problems
nothing else works

at the moment
my ears ache
my throat is swollen
my neck is sore
my head is throbbing
and i keep coughing shit up

and i just recovered from a two month long stretch of a sinus infection
i need a miracle drug
or alcohol
drinking helps the pain go away
and makes me forget i'm sick

aw, well
until then advil will do
