I Have a Bad Sneeze

I have a bad sneeze It won’t go away. I have it every hour, I have it every day. I sneeze so loud The ground trembles and shakes. I sneeze so loud People think there are earthquakes. I sneeze so loud, People think I’m ill. They say “Take more vitamins Either gummies or pills.” Though I sneeze so loud The doctors would always say “You are perfectly healthy. Over time it will go away.” But that was a two years ago And my sneeze is still here I wait for the day it stops But it might not, I fear. I told one of my close friends About my horrible plight. He said, “I have an idea; Go see the woodland sprite.” “She might be able to help you, Get rid of that silly sneeze. Just go to the Frolicking Forest, From there, the cure will be a breeze.” I thought the whole thing silly. Surely he wasn’t serious. A woodland sprite in the forest? Surely, my friend was delirious! But my friend wasn’t joking, And said it was what I had to do. So I went to the Frolicking Forest To see if his advice was true. ...

You Had It Worse


Don’t be angry,

It’ll only cause trouble.

I only end up lectured

So don’t share your anger.


Hide it behind

The mask of indifference.

If they ask what’s wrong say,

“Nothing. I’m fine.”


I’m sick of showing anger

Only to be met with a lecture,

Advice I never asked for,

And platitudes that worsen my attitude.


I’m sick of people saying

I shouldn’t feel this way

Because they had it worse.

I was just having one bad day.


If they ask what’s wrong,

I’ll say, “Everything’s fine.”

If they pry, I’ll say,

“I’m fine. I’m sure you had it worse.”
