Finished

Know this, a time comes when one must face the darkness of reality. The cruel and gruesome realism that awaits the aging body. A fist full of ugly comes pouncing down the path and the spilling of pain is not something one would ask for. Broken down limbs, that burning sensation radiating within ones soul, high blood pressure never seen before. Restless legs, sugar gone awry and old friends have long said goodbye. Loneliness lays on a slab, cold and rigid while lines and folds fall abruptly. A young soul within no longer recognizes the reflection they now see and others who knew them can’t remember that possibility.. Tears come easy within this space as age moves quickly along. One day your up, the next your down and another you’re barely alive. This cycle never ends, O there’s nothing you can do. Perhaps in the end, you’ll sit like a zombie while others look after you. An excruciating sense of dictatorship as one overtakes your being. You must obey every order and listen intently. Vexation is not allowed and a temper you’ll pay the price. Black eyes, broken bones, by strangers you never knew. Many working for a buck and could care less about you. My words are harsh and full of pain, but truth is coming your way. Take these words to heart and plan for better days. Home is where you ought to be, no institutions for you. Save your money and be good to others, may true love look after you.
