Dear tonsils,

Why do you hate me? Are you trying to escape? Because if you keep getting infected, I will be forced to have you cut out. Then you will be burned as hazardous waste. Is that really what you call a happy ending?

Or is it that you love me? Do you get infected to make me aware of your presence? To make me think about you and worry about you?

Either way, stop it. I'd quite like you to stay in my throat, pink and healthy and un-swollen.

Thanks,

a sick girl x
