It All Depends
Stretch, lift,
extend, breathe.
Shoulders back,
and down to relieve.
while body shifts.
From dysfunctional limbs
From dysfunctional limbs
to three ounce lifts.
"How ya doin'?"
in kindness intends.
an answer fitting,
"It all depends."
On the stance
I take to sit, or walk.
Write, eat, sleep
or even talk.
Avoid discussion
me, myself and I.
Think of an answer
most likely a lie.
"Better each day."
Works and is vague.
Saves on friends
who leave like the plague.
They don't want to know.
They're being polite.
They can't conceive
of a daily fight.
Better each day?
A slippery gage.
Determination,
a war to wage.
self-respect, hope.
Un-stuck from the end
of pulley and rope.
Time, a friend,
with forgetful brain.
Blocks out memory
of misery and pain.
"Relax" I hear.
What muscle first?
Mental training,
perform, rehearse.
Mantras, curses,
Mantras, curses,
crying sprees.
Jolts of pain
weakened knees.
Focus comes
no other choice.
I silence words from
my inner voice,
It cries loudly,
"Dammit, hell!!
When will I
EVER GET WELL??
