Living As If There Was No Tomorrow

We all take bad news about our love ones differently. Sometime like an earthquake, news of our love ones failing health can sweep tremors far away that make shake relatives and friends into new people. Most pay closer attention to their health but some look on and see hopelessness and give up trying to do what is right. Fortunately few people take other people ill health as e reason to exercise bad practices. Unfortunately I know one person who did

 

Living As If There Was No Tomorrow

Lulled by the news of my debility

I changed the way I lived drastically

Very restrictive diet and exercising each day

I no longer work or socialize; I’m now a shut away

Nowadays the shroud of uncertainty

Got my lifestyle curtailed and limits me

A lot of things I did with incredible ease

Soon became physical peculiarities

I concentrate just to walk across a room

Fix the monitor to read at a higher zoom

The floor in our house can be hot like tar

Have intermittent bouts like I’ve been hit by a car

Each day there is something I couldn’t predict

Remittent relapses from nerves failing to transmit

Early on mornings I carry on my left side

Weight about 300lbs which hinders my stride

All these things which are bothers to me

Should have caused me to give up and live wastefully

News like this sends tremors far away

Our love ones are shaken despite what they portray

They may react differently yet feel the same

Or some crawl into a state even therapist can’t name

Months he cried then had a change in personality

Obnoxious, withdrawn and it seems he blames me

Regardless to what I do or what I say

Restricting his diet or outlook brings further dismay

Objectionable behavior only came after our sorrow

Why is he living as if there was no tomorrow?
