Guinea Pig

NOTE: This is how I relate to a guinea pig O_o.

Like a guinea pig,
Only showing symptoms when they're most severe.
Hiding most symptoms,
Only giving the most minuscule hint of sickness.

Like a guinea pig,
In a test lab.
People try to get a reaction,
And torture it while doing it.

Will the guinea pig give an aggressive bite,
Or hide its agonizing hurt and suffering,
From everyone's site?

Its loved ones don't get why it's been,
Irritable,
Losing weight,
Or sleeping WAY too much.

I guess it's just unwell,
And doesn't want to be hurt by its apathetic peers,
Or worry its family.

To save me,
You ave to jump at the slightest showing of symptoms.
I'm sinking fast,
And might just leave this world.
