Dreamers Disease

by CJ Maleney   Mar 13, 2017



I am not ill or poorly
Though some thing is not right
I seem a little tender,
And have lost a little fight

There are no new scars to my body
There are no breaks to bones or limbs
I cannot diagnose what is wrong
And yet there is something

I have not been wounded or injured
And I feel no pain or hurt
But yet there is a difference
Hence to it I'm alert

I have not cuts or bruises
There's no blood upon my skin
But yet there is a change in me
Just when did it begin

I can only think it's in my head
Possibly it's something that I lack
Or was something I dreamed or hoped for
That is now lost in the past

I do not suffer by any virus
I do not cough or sneeze
I think the thing that ails me
Is just dreamers disease

    This is nicely written, flows great as Em says and I really like the atmosphere of it.

    Craig, what can I say about this apart from wow. You have once again written a beautifully rhymed piece that slips off the tip of the tongue especially when read a loud. I loved the mysterious feel that sits throughout this.

      I forgot about this one, to be honest it's not one I'm particularly fond of but it's nice that someone likes it
