The pain has come
It's overwhelming
Sitting staring at the
Ground
My neck so sore
I lay in bed
And pass the time
Just decaying
The thoughts they make
Their way across
The crevices
Devout replay
The open ended story
Hangs like weeds
Dangling from a cliff
Guess I'm holding down the fort alone
While my health divebombs
And just believing in myself
Gives me little to go on
Ticking clocks are counting down
The time unknown
The end, no sight
Making sense of fuzzy lights
Seated in the depths of mind
The goal has moved
Perspective shift
Priorities! Now get a grip
What's told to us
In younger years
Slips through our inattentive ears
But the sun hasn't set on me
The dew has melted after dawn
The gathered faces are encouraging
Maybe I'll get along after all
