So recently I've been ill mentally and that turns into physically and sometimes I feel like I'm older than I really am. I often wonder what it's like to grow old. To feel like I'm falling apart so young can be frightening when looking ahead. This came from that.

What do we do when
the body we rely on
begins to fail us
and leaves us behind?
Mind degrading and
frail form is breaking apart.
Losing what we were
before all this damage.
Aches we never knew
as the body breaks down
but we still go on.
We take it one step at a time.
What do we do when
the body we have faith in
abandons this life
and forces us to watch?
What can we do when
stuck in this state of mind?
We still keep going on.
We move through life with hope.
We move through life
We move through pain
We pray for love and mercy
We can move on.
