Sick

Shel Silverstein, 1930 - 1999

“I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
“I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I’m going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox
And there’s one more--that’s seventeen,
And don’t you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut--my eyes are blue--
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I’m sure that my left leg is broke--
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button’s caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle’s sprained,
My ‘pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow’s bent, my spine ain’t straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?
What’s that? What’s that you say?
You say today is. . .Saturday?
G’bye, I’m going out to play!”
i memorized this poem in 5th grade and its a really sick poem.

Make me feel important

everyone has an invisible sign on them, that says "make me feel important".
but this is hard to do when you want to feel important also, so how do you do both?
everyone puts up a wall, that the bricks can only fall apart, and be broken down, when you put yourself out there and get to know them. but you are exactly the same. 
so only the most perfect people will make others feel important since they already do? 
no, who cares if you're not feeling it, at the time. 
make them feel important, and they will start to make you feel important too.
cause no matter your race, your hair color, the clothes you wear or the type of friends you have. 
everyone has that invisible sign, "make me feel important".
