Sickness

POEMS

William Osuji

Invalid Date1 min read

I'll fight for them

My love

My fire so everlasting

But I cannot bear it alone

It would burn my hands

And the Self as a whole

Turning me into ash

Ready to be swept away

Where the wind will carry me

As I disintegrate further

Using my cells as a vessel

For transmitting more light

This deep love for life

I cannot bear it for myself

This poison of mine

This disease that I had to share
