so old

oops
|
hands dried and cracking
every movement a trial
wash my hands to bleed
stand and the joints scream
no mercy in my sleep
as i grind my teeth
another one cracks
rotting to the roots
lump in my jaw
grows with each day
the steroids for my shoulder
never seemed to do the trick
one hit
it's dislocated again
my knees have one inch indentions
from the rails i lift against
not too big a deal really
but they never fully extend
my eyes are so distorted
that i can't see my husband and child
even with my glasses
lungs charred and black
every cough
brings me closer to cancer
i wrap my throbbing feet
in the bags under my eyes
so old
so old
why am i still alive?
i'm only...22

for some reason, i feel cheesy for commenting on your poem, but i'll do it anyway. it was funny, though i doubt you meant it to be. then again, when you get to be your age, it's hard to tell what's appropriate to laugh at and what isn't, granny. i'm kidding, i liked it and i'm glad you finally posted something for other people to see. yaaaaaay granny.
