I died...

Poem Artwork

Two years ago today,

Well almost anyway,

I was deep in a dark coma,

For 8 long days, they thought I was going away…

 

Sugar shock initially,

Diabetic coma,

Kept alive artificially,

Lost a lot of weight beneficially…

 

So here I sit, still alive & bitchin’,

Not happy with my circumstances,

Too little are my finances,

Guess it is up to me to get better,

I brought myself back from the brink,

Now I just may quite soon sink…

My mom always said she had twins, one died but the turd lived. Maybe that's why I look for toilet paper sales. Patrick

Sorry to hear you are having a hard time, sometimes its such a struggle to get through each minute of the day but keep writing, it does help a bit to get it out on paper and may help others to express how they feel and not to feel so alone. I pray things will change for the better and for support during this time. Thanks for your powerful write. God bless. Baz
