Just Another Day...or is it?

Voices in my head
Cacophony hurts my ears
Go away I beg them
Down my face roll the tears

I haven't felt so good
these past several days
I've only wanted to sleep
Heavy my heart does weigh

Finally! Quiet does come
A Hallelujah I do say
Sleep will be so precious
I fall in without delay

How long I have slumbered
I do not really know
But the Voices have come back
And consciousness comes slow

Everywhere I hurt, I ache
What is happening here?
I have no idea what's going on
And I begin to shake with fear

Turns out I really was sick
Giving the kids a scare
I really did nearly die
And slept without a care
