Poem 1

Walking, slowly, surely softly
Every step with difficulty
One more breath
One more day
Back in bed to sleep away...

Moving forward hardly walking
Every day with difficulty
One more face
Another gesture
Fake another try at pleasure

Day by day I stay awake
Your time to talk not mine to take
I'll keep it in
And weigh me down
So much weight I'll surely drown

Stopping, dropping, can't keep walking
Another step leaves people gawking
I can't go on
It's now November
Goodbye my dear, hope you remember.
