I caught a cold to take a break
So my feet
Would not need to touch the street
I caught a cold to take a break
To miss a party
With many people
And cake
I caught a cold to take a break
To prevent the unease
Of unwanted conversation anywhere
(Also to not do my hair)
I caught a cold to take a break
To rest my muscles
And veins
Which wanted only silence and little air
I caught a cold to take a break
For my head
To ache
Me to peace
I caught a cold to take a break
To lay in bed
To sit inside myself all day
I caught a cold to take a break
For my nose to begin to pray
On its own with tears
First to drip and then to seep
I caught a cold to
