I’m pretty sure I’m a goner.

It happened rather suddenly.

I was fine, feeling okay,

until I felt something above the knee.

A sharp pain, perhaps a poke?

I’m sure some strange bug is the culprit.

It climbed up so very carefully

and waited for the opportune moment to hit.

I couldn’t see it but I’m sure

its venom is now inside of me.

It won’t take long I’m guessing

before I surely cease to be.
