Poem: Everything is hard

23 March 2023 by Abby Weyr

 

With flow

Against flow

Everything is hard

 

Getting out of bed

Getting cleaned up

Getting dressed

 

Move from bed to recliner

Walking to mail box

Going to church

 

Cleaning CPAP

Changing bed linens

Doing laundry

 

Getting groceries

Fixing meal

Clean up after eating

 

Using toilet

Taking shower

Cleaning bathroom

 

Yes, I can do hard stuff, but

Everything is hard

Even reading

 

Just leave me alone

Let me just sit

Be a bump on log

 

So tired

Want to give up

Wish I could

 

 

But something keeps

Me going even if slow

And kind of miserable.
