Psychic psyche

I wonder if I'm sick today or if my psyche wants to play.

Is she sending out false tremors, roiling sounds and tummy quivers?

Are these aches just phantom pains, ghostly things that boo and train

My lesser self to stay at home, throw myself an indulgent bone?

Should I buck up, get out of bed, dress myself, and shake my head

Go out outside where germs abound or stay at home and play around?

I never know quite what to cure, when feeling ill I'm never sure.

What things are real, my mind's a blur and so I need you to concur.

Is someone hitting my head with a stick, am I hurting, am I sick?

Does my tummy feel like a brick, do you know?  Please tell me quick!
