The whatevers of Keith R. Harkin

Good evening my fellow tumblrs! I have a small cold or, could it be allergies? I am hot and cold, sweaty, tired, achy, my nose is runny, my throat is scratchy, and my cough is horrible! I hate the man flu

Man flu…
Man flu is a mans flu.
A woman, will not know what man flu is,
Or of the pain that it brings.
They will not know what it is like,
To be slowly suffocated from a blocked nose,
To not see true as our eyes tear up,
To not speak due to our tight throats.
They will not know of the terror it brings,
The nights men lay awake as there blocked nose,
Stops the true circulation of air.
Women, they will never know. 
They will never know why we need,
That extra cup of tea to loosen our dry throats,
Or that extra pillow to keep the air flowing downwards,
Into our lungs.
Or why a foot massage will help us deal,
With our runny eyes.
Women, they will never know…
That man flu sucks!
