Geriatric

My limbs are sacks of rocks,

requiring full effort to try at all.

My body is tired

Achy

Exhausted.

Scars and scratches

up and down all of my parts

Represent all of the pains

I've endured.

There's a story behind each one.

I'm broken

Old

And over it all.

The effort required to move forward

seems too much most days.

I always thought my brain and my body

were at a disconnect,

and my heart all on its own.

It seems we are all caught up now.
