It's okay to be sick

Not everything will click

When you're not at your best

Then it's good that you rest

What people need to know

No matter where you go

“Get Better Soon” is not to be

Getting through each day is the key

They need to know, you need to tell

When you are sick, you may never be well

Some days are better, some days are worse

“Get Better Soon” is not in your universe

You deal with the pain, every day

You tolerate, whatever people say

“You look like hell” is not something to be said

“What are you doing up, you should be in bed”

You still have a life to live, even when you are sick

Your candle is still burning, there's a flame on your wick

Getting better is an option, without a choice

Understanding is the key, support is your voice

We need to take time to understand from the sick person's

point of view. Instead of judging them so quickly. Because

as in any situation, we don't know the whole story. We can't

be so quick to judge them, just by one quick glance. If you

are concerned, ask them. For they are the ones who know the

full story on themselves. Your guess may be totally off.
