Do you not see in my eyes
the pain I live each day?
These pills, count them,
every one, touch them.
They will set me free
from the agony I feel
each day,
from the moment I awaken
I feel the pain
deep in my heart,
into my soul,
a physical pain
as well as
an emotional one.
Do you not see in my eyes
that I deserve your sorrow
as well as the pain I feel?
No! Don't look at me again!
I am as pathetic as you can imagine
and Worthlessness is my name.
The pills I have here,
how many did you say?
So many of them,
they will take me away
as they rot the inside
of my body,
as you look on in sadness
of which you cannot confess.

This poem has such sad honesty in it! My pawpaw has to take a lot of pills to get through his days. The lines that struck a deep chord within are the last two: "as you look on in sadness
of which you cannot confess."

The tears are flowing freely and I confess there are no words to describe my saddness.

Thank you, Dear Friend. 'Tis but a lowly contest poem. To think I thought this way at one time. Horror!
