On Illness

When the contradictions of illness rhyme.

Heaps of drowning and some swimming
Many endings and new beginnings
Rock bottom and the blue sky
Feeling stuck and getting by
Countless losses and brave discovery
Beaten down and slow recovery
A little happy and often sad
Staying sane or going mad
It all fits into the bill
To pay the price, of being ill
